School Travel Plan
St. Aldhelm’s Church of England Primary School
School Travel Plan
The pupils, parents and
staff at this school are committed to promoting travel to and from school by
safe and sustainable means. We are
working hard to both promote the health and social benefits this brings and to
work with outside agencies to achieve the targets we have set. Our school travel plan is a living document
that we will review through curriculum work on a yearly basis. Adoption of a school travel plan by our
school will demonstrate:-
- Recognition of the need to reduce car traffic
generated by the school.
- Commitment to the local community to improve the
local environment.
- Encouragement of alternative modes of travel to
the car, to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, save energy and
minimise air pollution.
- A commitment to healthy lifestyles across the
school.
Success of the plan will be
assessed in terms of:-
- A reduction in the number of car journeys to and
from school.
- An increase in the proportion of journeys to and
from school by health promoting modes especially walking and cycling.
- Greater awareness of transport issues and the
impact of motor traffic on the environment on the part of pupils, staff,
parents and the local community.
- Reduced motor traffic congestion outside the
school entrances and in the school car park
- Greater participation in transport related
projects within the school curriculum
