We have ample space to safely store your child’s cycle or scooter.

Every half term we have a dedicated Walk/Ride to School Week where your child can collect Class Chart Points.

Our school takes part in the Bikeability and Cycle Confident programme (Level 1 & 2) which help our pupils to learn how to ride a bike.

We meet with the Sustainable Transport Team every month to look at ways to improve the way that our pupils travel to school.
