We are aware that some of our students cycle to and from school without cycle helmets. Studies show that wearing a cycle helmet reduces risk of serious head injury by almost 70% and fatal head injury by 65%. A recent cycling accident involving one of our students would have been much more serious had they not been wearing their cycle helmet.
Please could parents and carers strongly encourage their child to wear a cycle helmet when riding their bike.
Further information on cycle safety can be found here and you can watch James Cracknell’s cycle helmet appeal below.
