Transport

Encouraging active travel

As far as it is safe to do so, the use of active travel routes by parents/carers, staff and children and young people should be encouraged. Walking and cycling, scooting, wheeling etc should be strongly encouraged. In view of the potential for capacity constraints on public transport to impact on children and young people’s ability to attend school, all sustainable and active travel modes should be considered. Please note, bike / scooter shed will NOT be accessible.

Dedicated school transport

Scottish Governement guidance states "the scientific advice is that face coverings are not necessary on dedicated school transport for children and young people (those clinically advised to wear a covering would be an exception). Those who wish to wear a face covering should be permitted to do so." This guidance also reflects the scientific advice from the COVID-19 Advisory Sub-Group on Education and Children regarding the requirements for the safe travel of children and young people to/from school published on 16 July.
