School Travel Plans – STARS
The most important items are the Hands Up Survey and Issues. https://stars.tfl.gov.uk/
We cannot help you unless you tell us what is happening and of course, how you are working with your families to improve the issues you raise. The number of cars on the school run is not sustainable and causes the pollution levels that are detrimental to our children’s health and development.
Contact Wendy.thorogood@haringey.gov.uk for an appointment to update your travel plan.
Reach for the STARS – GOLD?
The deadline for the accreditation for STARS is 15 July. Please upload your activities as you go along, don’t wait until the last day. We are available to visit you in school or assist via email. Contact me now with a date to meet to progress your STARS update.
