Parents Forum Update
The Parents Forum was held on Tuesday, 20 January. There were a
number of points raised for discussion, a synopsis of which is available
by following this
link.
Cycle Safety - Helmets
Following the recent tragic accident the school, together with the
Parents' Forum, reviewed how we can make cycling to school safer.
More than half of the reported injuries in cycling accidents are to the
head. Many are serious, some permanently disabling.
Inexpensive helmets are available in the cycle shop in Wickford, in some
of the large supermarkets, Argos, Halfords and many other local suppliers.
From Monday, 1 December 2008 we will be issuing a safety letter to all
students who are not wearing a cycle helmet whilst cycling to school and
contacting parents to let them know the helmet was not worn. From
January helmets are required for all students who wish to cycle to school
and use our premises to store their bikes. Students who do not have
a helmet will not be allowed to bring their bikes to school. Lockers
are available to store helmets and lights.
It is a legal requirement for cyclists to have lights on their bikes after
dark. Reflective/high visibility clothing also make cyclists and
pedestrians safer during the winter mornings and evenings. We are
sure parents will wish to support us in this. Parents at the Forum
were strongly of the opinion that if everybody has a helmet, then there
will be no fashion/peer pressure not to do so.
National Athletics Final
Congratulations to Kirsty Shepherd and Matthew Harrison, sixth form students, for
securing places at the National Athletics Final. The final, which
takes place in Newcastle this July, will see youngsters from all over the
UK representing their counties and Kirsty and Matthew are no exception as
they have been selected to represent Essex for the second year running.
Good luck to them both.
