Walking

We encourage our local students to walk to school, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our doors open from 8am for breakfast club. This must be pre-booked through Parentmail.

Bike/Scooter

We provide stands for bikes and scooters, but pupils must provide their own locks. Helmets and lights must be provided by families. Safety is paramount. 

Car

Please note that there are no car parking facilities for parents at the school.

Please do not park on the Yellow lines outside of school or in the bus lane. 

We encourage both car sharing and park and stride where possible.  There are plenty of places to stop in Shefford that are a bit further away from the school.  This helps to ease congestion around the school and encourages your child to walk a short distance, promoting physical activity for better health and well-being.
