Active Travel
We are excited to be participating in the Living Streets WOW Challenge. We are encouraging children in all year groups to walk to school three times a week to earn exclusive badges each month! Not only will this help children’s physical fitness, it will also have an impact on their mental wellbeing and readiness to learn. We can’t wait to see the children getting involved.
Tips
Cycling to School
As a Healthy School we recognise the many positive benefits of not travelling to school by car. We support pupils and their parents who wish to cycle to school together as it:
- Improves health through physical activity.
- Establishes positive active travel habits.
- Promotes independence and improves safety awareness.
- Reduces congestion, noise and pollution in the community.
- Reduces the environmental impact of the journey to school.
Cycle Safety
We would advise that all cyclists wear a correctly fitted cycle helmet and use appropriate reflective clothing and bike lights when visibility is poor.
Bike Safety can also be learnt here at Bikeability.
Car Parking
Our School Car Park is now closed to all except for Staff, Visitors who have been booked in to visit with us and Parents/Carers who have been given a Bearwood School Parking Permit, this is to enable a safe environment for the children when entering and exiting our school grounds.
Please ensure that if parking on the neighbouring roads that you do so with care to enable home owners to use their drives safely.
We would actively encourage you to walk to school where possible.
