Getting to school in a healthy and safe way
We had a really interesting and inspiring Year 7 assembly led by Chris Collins, the Senior Road Safety Officer from Hampshire County Council.
Encouraging increased pedal power, he reflected on the Bikeability scheme which is training fully funded by the Hampshire County Council Road Safety Team. It is designed to give students additional cycling skills so that they can confidently negotiate complex junctions, roundabouts, multi-lane roads and traffic lights. Focusing on getting to school both safely and actively, Chris stressed the need for awareness of other pedestrians and cyclists as students made their active way into school. We will be continuing our Bikeability scheme in May 2019 for all Year 7 students.
Chris also spoke enthusiastically about the new Park & Stride scheme encouraging parents and guardians to drop off students in Anstey Park so they can safely walk at least some of the way to and from school. It only takes 5 minutes and with no fear of muddy shoes because of the new fully weather proof paths.

Do the Maths! Year 10 students Libby, Evie, Jess and Cali took up the Alton School Maths Challenge this week. Working with four future Eggar's students from Bentley School, they tackled three rounds of very difficult problem-solving maths. They were fantastic ambassadors https://t.co/onVvrb3qcJ 10:18 PM - 25 Jun 2022

It's Fri-YAY and we're celebrating Matt D and his performance at the National Schools Biathle last weekend. He was placed 2nd in the Year 7 Boys race. (Biathle is an event that can involve a runswimrun course, or simply a swimrun course). #SoundsExhausting #GoMattGo https://t.co/pIe7RXQUpa 6:00 PM - 24 Jun 2022
