Our school travel plan is a list of actions that we commit to run as part of a whole school approach.
We do this as part of becoming an excellent school, by supporting pupil's health, wellbeing, and safety.
As part of our work we will look at traffic around the school and look at how we may reduce barriers and increase the incentives to active travel for as many staff, pupils and parents as possible.
The aim is to improve physical wellbeing and support good mental health of all in our community.
As part of our work we will look at:-
- Teaching children about road safety through a programme of assemblies and activities.
- Support pupils in developing road awareness through 'Bike Ability' courses .
- Support understanding of the risks of 'engine idling', safe parking and alternatives to driving to school.
Eastlands is working very closely with the Road Safety Education Team at Warwickshire County Council. We are committed to helping children and families be more active on their journeys to school. Eastlands Primary School has already achieved Bronze and Silver Travel Awards.
UPDATE: June 2025 we have achieved the Platinum Travel Award! We are very proud.
