St Nicholas Catholic Primary School Travel Plan – March 2008
Foreword
In recent years the number of children walking to both primary and secondary schools has declined and there has been a steady increase in parental car use. Less walking and cycling are affecting children’s health and independence.
St Nicholas School has experienced these changes; many of which are due to circumstances outside our control. However, there are areas where our school community can work together to bring about beneficial developments.
This travel plan looks at how children are currently travelling to and from our school and sets out a package of measures to encourage parents and children to use more sustainable and healthy forms of transport to travel safely. The plan is a strategic document setting out actions and timescales which will be regularly reviewed.
The aim of this travel plan is to reduce the number of car trips to school and improve the safety of other means of travelling.
