Bikes and Scooters in School A number of pupils and parents have expressed confusion over whether or not bikes and scooters can be ridden on school grounds. Bikes and scooters are not allowed to be ridden anywhere on the school grounds. This is to ensure the safety of everyone entering and leaving the school grounds and also in recognition of the fact that here at Bishop Martin, the main entrance is shared with cars entering and leaving. Bikes and scooters should be wheeled to the bikeshed from the main entrance, using the marked cycle path and vice versa when leaving. We hope this clears up any confusion and thank you for your support in this area. Parents Evening Booking System Our next parents evening is on Monday 27th and Wednesday 29th March and we will be sending the invite by text with a link where you can book appointments to see your child/ren’s class teacher. You also have an option to meet with our Headteacher, SENCo and Learning Mentor. (These are not compulsory meetings only if you feel you need to see them). Do not worry, if you are not sure just pop in to the school office and we will show you how or manually book your appointments.
