Safe and Active Schools Award
At our school, we are passionate about helping children travel to school in ways that are safe, healthy, and good for the environment.
Why Active Travel Matters
Walking, scooting, cycling or wheeling to school helps children to:
- Stay active and healthy
- Arrive at school feeling ready to learn
- Develop independence and road safety awareness
- Reduce traffic and improve air quality around school
For longer journeys, choosing public transport wherever possible is a great way to reduce congestion and help protect our environment.

Learning with Warwick the Bear
