BICYCLES
 

Children are allowed to bring bicycles to school, subject to them being in roadworthy condition.  Periodic checks may be made to ensure that cycles are roadworthy.  The school reserves the right to withdraw a pupil's privilege of bringing a bicycle to school.  Bicycles should be left in the bicycle shed area and pupils are advised to padlock them.    The school participates in the Advanced Cycling Award Scheme in which up to 30 year 7 pupils receive training in safe cycling.

It is a course designed to teach pupils how to cycle safely on various types of road and in various conditions.  At the end of the course, which runs for five 2-hourly sessions, a Cycling Test and a Highway Code Test are conducted by an independent examiner, which lead to the Advanced Cycling Award.
