Travel Information

Cycling

Sale Grammar School encourages students who may wish to cycle to school as it improves their health and fitness and reduces traffic congestion, making conditions safer for everyone.  However, responsibility for 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. Sale Grammar School does not accept liability for any consequences of that decision.

Parents are advised to take out appropriate insurance cover as the school’s insurance does not cover loss or damage to bicycles.

Students are strongly 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

  • All bicycles must be in a roadworthy condition
  • Students must ride sensibly and follow the Highway Code
  • Students must be willing to complete a basic cycling certificate
  • Cyclists must dismount and wheel their bicycle when on paths or school grounds
  • All bicycles must be locked securely in the approved cycle parking area

It is important that we know the number of students cycling to school even on an irregular basis, in order that we can make appropriate security and safety arrangements.

If you wish your child to cycle to school, please complete the Cycling Agreement Form by clicking here.
