The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for the Environment, Transport and the Climate Emergency, Cllr Mike Hakata, paid a visit to Noel Park Primary School on Wednesday to present Angela Salih with a Gold certificate and star for their incredible work on the TfL Stars programme.

As Noel Park Primary’s school travel champion, Angela has worked hard on delivering active travel and behaviour change/modal shift activities for the last four years, resulting in this great achievement of becoming a TfL Gold Stars school.

Noel Park Primary is now deservedly among the capital’s top 10% of sustainable travel schools. They’ve achieved a 6% change away from car use; delivered more than 30 different activities to enable and encourage behaviour change and built road safety knowledge within the school.

Many congratulations to Angela and the teachers and staff, pupils and parents at Noel Park Primary School!

Encourage pupils to be a TfL STAR at your school

The STARS Challenge is a Transport for London (TfL) Community project that’s designed to equip young people aged 11-18, with the confidence and skills to lead their peers and influence parents in tackling travel issues in their school community.

There are three core objectives to the STARS Challenge:

ACTIVE: Raise awareness of the environmental, health and wellbeing benefits of Active Travel and encourage more students to walk, scoot or cycle
RESPONSIBLE: Encourage responsible and respectful use of the transport network
SAFE: Increase Road Safety awareness in the school community

The project represents an ideal opportunity for any pupil wishing to increase their confidence and gain experience of presenting as part of a small supportive groups of their peers. From a school perspective too, it can fit well into the agenda of Eco Clubs, Green Societies and School Councils.

Recruitment for the summer term is currently underway and the limited places available are offered on a first come, first served basis. For further information, interested schools here in Haringey should email: tflsafetyandcitizenship@ltmuseum.co.uk by the February half-term holidays.
