Dear Parents/Carers

Tour de Yorkshire: Thursday 3 May 2018

As you may be aware the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race starts in Beverley on Thursday 3 May. The start to the women’s race will affect both Beverley High School and Beverley Grammar School as a result of the race start time at approximately 8:50am. For a period of up to 45 minutes before and after that time roads around both schools will be closed on a rolling basis. This will make the journey to school for our students and staff who travel by road problematic.

We have, therefore, taken the decision to delay the start of the school day until 10am. Bus operators and taxi firms will be delaying their pickup times in order to accommodate this. Please see the times attached to this letter.

The delayed start will also give High School and Grammar School students the chance to watch and support the start of the women’s race, if they so wish.

Pease note that both the High School and Grammar School will have supervised areas available from 7.45am on May 3, where students will be able to wait until the delayed start at 10.00am. This means that you will be able to drop your children off before the roads are closed as well as when they reopen. Please note that morning registers will be taken in form rooms at 10.00am.

If you have any queries about the arrangements please do not hesitate to contact the school office in the first instance.

Yours faithfully

Gavin Chappell Sharon Japp Headteacher Headteacher Beverley Grammar School Beverley High School
