Cycling to School - Important Notice to
Parents
While Sciennes school wishes to encourage an increase in
the number of pupils cycling to school, whether alone or accompanied
by an adult, the decision as to whether your child is competent to
negotiate such hazards as may present themselves on the route from
home to school and back must be yours and yours alone. Sciennes
school does not accept liability for any consequences of that
decision.
Sciennes supports pupils who wish to walk or cycle to school since it
improves their health and fitness, reduces traffic outside the school
making conditions safer for everyone, and benefits their general
development. If you wish your son or daughter to cycle to school,
would you please complete the form below. It is important that we
know the numbers of children cycling to school even on an irregular
basis in order that we can make appropriate security and safety
arrangements.
Parents are advised to take out appropriate insurance cover as the
school's insurance does not cover loss of or damage to bicycles.
Cycle Helmets
Pupils are advised to wear a correctly fitted cycle helmet
and use appropriate reflective clothing and bike lights when
visibility is poor.
Conditions for Cycling to School
1. All bicycles must be in a roadworthy condition.
2. Cyclists must ride sensibly and follow the Highway Code.
3. Bicycles should not be ridden in the playground - please dismount
and walk your bike through this busy area.
4. Approved cycle training must have been undertaken, where
available.
5. All bicycles must be locked securely in the cycle parking areas
under the sheds at the East side of the school.
Sciennes School reserves the right to revoke this permit in the event
that these conditions are ignored.
