KINGS’ School have unveiled new cycle parking, which will allow over a hundred pupils to take their bikes to school.
Ex-deputy headteacher, Rev Neil Birkett, opened the site officially on Monday February 14.
after the February half-term break, pupils will be able to use the facility and cycling proficiency training will be available for Year 7 pupils too.
Rob Jeckells, assistant headteacher, said: “Our pupils have wanted cycle storage for some time now and we are delighted to be able to provide this for them. Cycling is a healthy and environmentally friendly method of transport and we should be encouraging young people to live positive, active lifestyles wherever we can.”
Sustrans, Hampshire Local Authority, and the Kings’ School Association, have all provided funding to allow the parking to be built as part of the school’s strategy of getting pupils on their bikes.
