Department for Transport travelling advice for parents and pupils

The Department for Transport has issued advice on how parents and pupils can travel to school safely as part of the #TravelSafely campaign. Resources have been developed to ensure that parents, pupils and staff have the information they need to stay safe on the public transport network. This includes information developed in collaboration with respected partners on how to cycle and walk safely, where possible.

Resources can be found here:

NB Your child’s class, if asked to isolate on a certain date, may return to school sooner than 14 days after that date. This is because the isolation period is 14 days from the point at which they were last in contact with the confirmed case, and that last contact may have been some days before the class had to commence isolation – for example, if a weekend has passed, or a child / teacher was absent for a while before symptoms / a test result was received.

This is in line with Public Health guidance.

We will inform you of the date of return at all times.
