Why become an accredited school?

   The benefits of having an accredited School Travel Plan (STP)

   An accredited STP promotes safe and active travel for the whole    school community that can result in:

•    Less cars and congestion around the school site
•    Healthier, more active pupils, families and staff
•    Safer walking and cycling routes around the school
•    Improved school grounds with provision for bicycle storage (where possible)
•    A more accessible school site
•    Less pollution around the school
•    Improved attendance and achievement

   

STPs are designed to address the problems that are an issue for an individual school. The STAR Accreditation scheme guides a school through several processes to implement a successful STP that can provide both short and long term benefits to the school community.
