Travelling to School
We encourage as many students as possible to walk or cycle to school. These methods can improve overall fitness levels in children and adults. It is a cheap low impact way to exercise. Getting active in our daily lives can have a big impact on a number of health issues.
We realise that some parents/carers have no alternative but to drive their children to school, however, many are driving short distances where walking or cycling is a real option. Even those who have to drive to school can do their bit by parking away from the school entrance and walking for part of the journey.
Please can we remind you not to do the following:
- Park on yellow lines, zig zags or block the school entrance
- Park on the pavement, across dropped kerbs or residents’ driveways
- Park opposite or within 10 metres of a junction
- Park where you will cause inconvenience to other road users
- Leave your vehicle with the engine still running
- Stop in the middle of the road to drop your child off, even for a few seconds. Block the road emergency vehicles and other traffic may need to access
