CYCLING POLICY AND GUIDELINES
Elangeni School is committed to supporting government initiatives that encourage walking and cycling to and from school. These initiatives promote healthy lifestyles, support sustainable travel, and help reduce traffic congestion at the beginning and end of the school day.
To support this, Elangeni School permits bicycles on the school premises, provided that parents and pupils accept full responsibility for their own safety and for the security of their bicycles. The school will provide a suitable cycle storage facility for pupils to use.
Please note that Elangeni School is not liable for any property brought onto the premises. This includes bicycles, and the school cannot accept responsibility for bikes that are stolen, lost, or damaged by a third party.
The safety of pupils travelling to and from school remains the responsibility of parents.
All cyclists (adult or child) MUST dismount at the school entrance and walk their bike to the designated parking/ storage area, this includes when entering via the Chestnut Lane School driveway
Parents should ensure that their child:
- is accompanied by an adult on the journey to and from school;
- wears a helmet for all journeys;
- locks their bicycle securely, taking care not to damage other bikes.
