Our School and Modeshift STARS

Our school is taking part in the Modeshift STARS initiative which is a national scheme that helps schools encourage safe, active and sustainable travel. The programme supports schools across the country to develop effective Travel Plans that promote walking, cycling, scooting and the use of public transport instead of car journeys.

By taking part, we’re working towards accreditation that recognises schools for their commitment to reducing car use and making travel to and from school healthier, safer and better for the environment.

As part of the project, we’ll be:

• Encouraging more families to walk, cycle or scoot to school
• Promoting road safety and awareness
• Running events and activities to make active travel fun and achievable
• Working with parents and pupils to develop a school Travel Plan

The Modeshift STARS Education scheme has been running since 2008 and is supported by the Department for Transport. Over 1,400 schools in England have already achieved accreditation and we’re excited to be working towards joining them!

By supporting this project, parents and carers can help us create a healthier, safer, and more sustainable school community.
