The majority of children walk to school.
Pupils can ride their bikes to school. We encourage anyone cycling to take the Bike Ability Level 2 course which is run at the school, however this is not mandatory and it is up to Parents/Carers if they wish their child to ride. Any pupil riding to school must use a road worthy bicycle and wear a protective helmet. If a child is seen not wearing a helmet, the school will contact home. Pupils must dismount from their bicycle before entering the school grounds. Please note that no responsibility can be taken for damage to or thefts from bicycles whilst parked in the school cycle racks.
If you are bringing children to school by car, we strongly encourage you to park a short distance from the school and allow the children to walk the remaining part of the journey. This will reduce traffic congestion and allow your child to walk and socialise with their peers. To keep our pupils safe, the car park is only available for dropoff in the mornings if you have a pass. Passes can be obtained from the school office and are given to those with blue badges or other legitimate needs.
For pupils travelling from Merley, a bus service is available, operated by More Buses. The drop off and pick up point is located directly outside the school on Dunyeats Road. Information detailing the full route and timetable is available from www.morebus.co.uk. If your child qualifies for Pupil Premium, please ask the school for support with bus costs.
