Dear Parents and Students,
Of late students have been arriving at school on E-Scooters.
I want to take this time to remind you of the laws on the use of E-Scooters.
Gov.uk – Riding an electric scooter: the rules
It is illegal to ride a privately owned electric scooter (also known as an ‘e-scooter’) in public, for example on pavements, on roads or in parks.
You could be fined and get penalty points on your driving licence. The scooter could also be seized by the police.
You can only ride a privately owned electric scooter on private land with the permission of the landowner.
It is therefore not possible to get to school on an E-Scooter as the roads and pavements are public not private and the school is also a public space.
Students who arrive at school with an E-Scooter will not be able to bring them onto school premises with immediate effect.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
Andrew Murray, Headteacher
