The extra money aims to give the school further financial flexibility to make capital improvements to the school site. Possible improvement schemes include building new cycle storage or creating a new path for pedestrians and cyclists in the school grounds.

Councillor Joseph Marjoram (Cons, Calverley & Farsley) added: "The extra funding that is being granted will allow the school to deliver improvements that will make it safer and easier for children to travel to and from school by more sustainable methods. This should be a great incentive to encourage other schools across Leeds to establish travel plans for their pupils and parents as well."
