Four children sometimes came by bike and some children thought that their parents could car share (Current problems on routes to the school, and reasons preventing sustainable travel to school) The school is fortunate in that there are few traffic problems outside school and speeds are kept to a minimum because of the nature of the road. Space is limited for parent waiting outside school Parents often drop children off from cars outside school without seeing them safely across the road Due to the school being in such a rural area children are not used to busy traffic and need to learn pedestrian skills suited to a busier environment Parents have nowhere to shelter when waiting outside There are no facilities for storing bikes Asby Endowed School Travel Plan 5 Working party recommendations for action N.B.

May 2020 I write in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, the like of which we have not seen since the threat of invasion in World War II. The profound effects of the crisis on every aspect of our lives, our communities, our jobs, our schools and our families create anxiety and uncertainty. It feels like a very dark time for everyone. Yet, if we look around there are signs of light and hope in the darkness - the volunteers who are reaching out to help the vulnerable, the selfless dedication of the NHS and all our essential workers, the resilience and creativity of communities. All these are real consolations to us all right now. The church buildings may be closed to keep everyone safe, but the Church is still open and finding new ways to reach out to everyone.
