Transport and Traffic Arrangements
STUDENTS ON FOOT
All students arriving at or leaving the school on foot and needing to cross Les Varendes must do so by using the pedestrian facility at the traffic lights at the junction with Foote’s Lane. Crossing at any other point is not permitted. It would help traffic flow at busy times if students would wait to cross in a group and not as a succession of individuals.
STUDENTS ON PEDAL CYCLES
All cyclists should dismount at the school entrance in Foote’s Lane and walk with their bikes up the diagonal path to the cycle sheds. All students in years 7-11 should cyle in school uniform but may remove their blazers. Protective clothing may be worn over the uniform.
STUDENTS ON MOTOR CYCLES
All forms of motor-cycle are to be parked in the area by the Games Pavilion to the west of the school. Particular care must be taken when turning across the line of traffic to enter or leave the approach road. Consideration should be shown to the local residents by not revving engines unnecessarily.
