Travelling to school safely from 8th March

As part of our ongoing communications with pupils, parents and carers the Government have asked us to remind you of the following:

· if you live a short distance from your school or college, walk, cycle or scoot to and from school wherever it is possible and safe to do so

· avoid sharing a car with anyone outside of your household or support bubble

· if you are using public transport to get to school or college, plan ahead and allow more time for your journey

· when you are travelling by public or dedicated school transport, don’t forget to:

wear a face covering (unless you are exempt, including if you are aged 11 and under). It is important  you wear them for the entirety of your journey, including inside a bus or train station
social distance where possible
wash or sanitise your hands regularly
be considerate to fellow passengers and staff.

Further information can be found in our guidance on transport to school and other places of education. The Department for Transport has also created resources that can be downloaded and used by education settings to promote safe travel to school
