Scoot
Another way to ride to school is on a scooter. Just as with bicycles a scooter needs to be used sensibly. The advice for cycling also applies here. For information, E-scooters are not legal to use in Glossop.

Sustainable Travel
Glossopdale School encourages parents and children to choose more active, healthier and environmentally friendly ways of travelling to school, as an alternative to driving. For those wishing to cycle, bike stores are available within the school grounds. Please be aware that cars are not permitted to enter, or park within, the school grounds at drop off and collection times without prior permission. We ask all vehicle users to respect our neighbours and ensure that vehicles are parked legally and courteously at all time
