To Parent/Carers,
Please find below the latest government guidance on using transport when travelling to and from school in relations to using public transport, cycling and walking. Please use these measures when travelling form home to school and the return journey.
Regards, The Polygon School
Transporting your Child to School
Plan your journey
Can you travel when traffic is quieter
Plan your route - try to take to most direct bus, cycle or walking route
Wash your hands before you leave for school
Take hand sanitiser and/or a face covering with you
On your journey*
Stay 2M apart from other people
Buses may be running at 25% capacity so you may have to wait
Be patient using public transport and follow instructions from transport staff
If cycling follow road safety measures and the Highway Code
If walking stick to designated footpaths and walk through parks so there is more space around you
Completing your journey
Maintain a 2M distance where possible
Follow guidance at your destination
Wash or sanitise your hands as soon as possible
*Both Bluestar and City Red buses are running a 25% capacity (1 in 4 seats) to help maintain social distancing. A “full” bus will only be 25% full so please allow time to potentially have to catch the next bus in the service.
