Active Travel

We promote walking and cycling as a healthy way for our students to travel to school. Research shows being active can help students concentrate better and increase their levels of achievement. Being active on their journey to school also helps young people reach the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity a day.

By walking or cycling, our school community can also help reduce the number of vehicles on the road making it safer for pedestrians and cyclists. It also reduces the pollution caused from exhaust fumes helping combat climate change and create cleaner air.

You could also consider park and stride – find a location near to the school to drop off and walk from there.

Below is a link to an image of an active travel map, highlighting walking and cycling distances around the school. Click on the map to open a larger view, locate your home and work out how long it could take you to get to school using active travel, it might be quicker than you think!
