Hide AdA PSNI spokesperson said: "Now that new school year has started, the principal has already noticed the same thing happening this week.
"As as you can imagine the thought of a motorcycle hitting a person does not bare thinking about.
"This is an issue police and the school staff would like to see stop.
"Just to clear it all up, riding a motorcycle on a footpath is an offence.
"If any injury is caused to a person as a result of riding on the footpath, this is a more serious offence."
