Walking to School
We are committed to supporting the active lifestyles of our pupils and families, whilst also supporting sustainability. Please see the leaflet below for you to use when planning your journey to/from school to encourage more active travel. The map focusses on your school in the middle with icons to show some useful features such as cycle parking and crossing points. The map also shows five and ten minute walking and cycling zones that are shown as circles on your map. Use the map to find your home and work out if you are living within one of the 5 or 10 minute walk and cycle zone circles.
