We are very pleased to see so many schools taking part in the school travel plan scheme. We currently have 65 schools, with at least 4 more joining the scheme this school year.
This year’s record number of Gold (28) and Silver (14) accreditations shows how dedicated our schools are to delivering these messages and encouraging our young people to develop a sense of being responsible, active, safe and independent. The life skills of road safety and improvements to health are extremely important, enabling this developing generation to gain a good knowledge of how their actions affect their own futures and that of the planet.
The TfL STARS scheme is a great way to record your school Improvements and cover the health and safety factors that Ofsted look for in their inspections.
We are available to assist every school to create an active travel plan that can be updated throughout the year to reflect any issues that arise.
The information that you enter in the issues section of the STARS travel plan is a vital tool that we use to help you improve the road and traffic around your school.
We look at this plan when schools ask for assistance with local road issues and essential user permits.
