At William Gilbert Endowed C of E Primary School and Nursery, we strive to make our travel to and from school as smart and active as possible. On this page there is a lot of information about the initiatives we have carried out to raise awareness. 

Modeshift STARS is the national schools awards scheme that has been established to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable travel.

The scheme encourages schools across the country to join in a major effort to increase levels of sustainable and active travel in order to improve the health and well-being of children.

Every school in England can participate in Modeshift STARS for free and on completion of an application will automatically have a national standard School Travel Plan.

We are taking part in the national Modeshift Sustainable Travel Accreditation & Recognition for Schools award initiative which aims to:

• increase opportunities for daily physical activity by promoting active and healthier ways of travelling to school such as walking, cycling and scooting;
• make a contribute to improving air quality;
• help reduce traffic congestion;
• promote safer and sustainable ways of travelling for all journey modes.
