Our successful Cycle To School scheme will continue to run this year. If your child is interested in cycling to school they will need to apply for a permit in order to do so. Permit application letters can be collected from and then returned to Mr Stredwick. Not all applications will necessarily be successful. Your child will need to demonstrate that they can comply with our cycling Code of Conduct which can be found on the application letter before a permit can be issued. No child will be allowed to cycle to school without a permit.

Children will have to take responsibility for their bike lock keys during the school day and helmets will be stored on their coat pegs. School will not accept liability for bikes while they are on site.

It is advisable that your child can achieve the following cycling safety standards to take part in this scheme:

• Understand where to ride on roads being used
• Start and finish an on-road journey
• Be aware of potential hazards
• Understand how and when to signal
• Pass parked and slow moving vehicles
• Pass side roads
• Turn left from major to minor and minor to major roads
• Turn right from major to minor and minor to major roads
• Know how and when to use cycle lanes
• Demonstrate clear understanding of a safe riding strategy
• Make a U-turn
• Demonstrate an understanding of the Highway Code

Thank you for your continued support.
