No you cant. You pay it back through your salary and conditions apply.
Look up the details on the web it plain enough.

If you mean you have £400 saved you will get a good entry level road bike, but make sure you get good advice.

Or another £100 gets the excellent giant defy 4

C2W won't work for you as it is related to a tax benefit which obviously isn't relevant if you are at school and don't pay tax. You could get a parent to get you a bike on Interest free credit which some retailers offer and so pay the bike off over a year

Deacathlon do a reasonable looking road bike for £300

If are taking to school it will get some abuse / knocks in the bike sheds so I would find
a good used bike.
£300 will get you something like a nearly new allez which will easily be up to the job leaving you money for mudguards etc
I don't suppose it is unknown for parents to get a bike on the scheme but not actually use it though!

I think we ought to clarify things here. When you say "get to school" is this as a pupil or as an employee of the school.

If the former, no because it is a salary sacrifice scheme and you don't have a salary. If the latter, maybe depending on whether or not your employers are signed up or not.

I would also add that if you are an english teacher, I hope your teaching is better than your spelling!!!! "qualify"

I was thinking the same, judging by the grammar and spelling I hope this is a pupil!

............................but then we are not here to judge spelling and grammar are we?

Are the spelling mistakes deliberate?

Everyone else get an A or B?

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Is that the lowest or highest grade the school boasts?

[Bensbikespares]

Mum - dont work


so theres no way round it
