Walking/Cycling Home Alone

At Lime Tree, we aim to foster pupils’ independence, and quite a few of our Year 5 and 6 children walk/cycle home alone.  For them to be able to do this the parent will need to fill out our Unescorted Travel Form and get prior agreement from the school. Once this has been completed and seen by the school the class teachers will release them at the end of the day. 

If your child is attending an internal afterschool club and leaving the school premises later than normal an email giving extra consent will be needed to clubs@limetree.rbksch.org

If your child is attending an external company afterschool club then specific agreement will need to be made by the parent with the club direct.
