School Travel Planning

As your parents are bringing their children back to school, please remind them that we need our young people to increase their activity, so the Daily Mile can be achieved by their walk to and from school every day. This will contribute to reduced pollution, increased road safety awareness and fitter healthier families.

We are aiming for all schools to complete their Hands up survey before the end of this half term.

If you need help please take time to look at the TfL Stars Site and sign up for the following:
