The number of children in the United Kingdom travelling to and from school by car is steadily increasing. In 2005, National Statistics suggested that 43% of primary school children are being driven to and from school.

At Wardley Primary School, we would like to see this number decrease. To do this, we have developed a school travel plan, which involved consultation with children, staff, school governors and parents.

The travel plan shows Wardley Primary School’s commitment to working with the community to:
*Improve the environment.
*Reduce car traffic to and from school.
*Encourage cycling to school as an alternative to the car to save energy, minimise air pollution and increase pupil fitness.
*Develop the social skills of all pupils through their active involvement in the development, implementation and evaluation of this plan.
