Walking or Cycling 

Many Newmarket Academy students cycle or walk to school. 

Students who cycle to school are asked to lock their bikes up within the school gates and not on the cycle racks designated to the Leisure Centre. 

Students who cycle to school are reminded to wear a helmet and have lights installed on their bikes.
