School Travel Plan

Darrick Wood School has recently developed a School Travel Plan. The main purpose of this is to promote sustainable and safer travel for the whole School community.

The aims of the Plan are:

• to reduce the number of car trips on journeys to and from School
• to encourage pupils and staff to choose ‘active travel’ options such as cycling, walking and public transport rather than using a car
• to raise awareness of the health benefits of active travel options
• to raise awareness of safety issues arising from active travel options

The benefits of the Plan include:

• less cars and congestion around the School
• healthier and more active pupils, families and staff
• less pollution around the School
• safer walking and cycling routes around the School
• improved cycle storage facilities
