Transport Information
At Hartford Church of England High School, we are committed to promoting safe, active and sustainable travel to school with the main emphasis being on reducing the number of children being driven to and from school. By doing this we could help:
- reduce the number of car journeys to our school
- establish positive active journeys to school
- improve both mental and physical health through physical activity
- promote independence and improve safety awareness
- reduce the environmental impact of the journey to school
Walking
The majority of our students walk to school via a good network of pavements which are well lit. However, there are a number of busy roads near the school, including main roads where traffic can be heavy at times. Please remind your children to use the pedestrian crossings when walking to and from school and to be mindful of their personal safety at all times.
Cycling
We encourage our students to cycle to school. In order to promote this, we have three large cycle shelters where they can be safely stored during the school day. Anyone who rides a bike to school must follow the Highway Code Rules for cyclists (59 to 82) which includes wearing a helmet whilst riding a bike to and from school.
Car
If you are dropping off or collecting your child by car, please be aware of the congestion outside the school. For safety reasons, please do not park in the school bus bays or on the zigzags or double yellow lines. We ask that you are considerate to our neighbours by ensuring that you do not block their driveways.
