Roding Primary is a Gold Accredited School recognised by Transport for London.

We actively encourage our pupils and staff to walk, scoot or cycle to school as they:

keep us fit and healthy
help our pupils develop road safety skills which will keep them safe as they travel further afield and more independently
help keep our local air clean, and our streets free from congestion
are life skills that everyone should be able to benefit from

A School Travel Plan promotes and facilitates active, healthy, safe and sustainable travel to school as an alternative to using the private car.

The main objectives of a School Travel Plan are to:

Improve health through encouraging active travel and reducing harmful emissions
Improve the environment through reducing congestion, reducing pollution and CO2 emissions and improving facilities for walkers and cyclists
Improve safety through highways engineering measures and increasing road safety education
Improve access and opportunity by developing pupils' skills for safe and independent travel

For the wellbeing of our pupils, we expect parents and carers to:

Encourage their child to walk, cycle or scoot to school whenever possible
Encourage their child to take up opportunities to develop their competence and confidence in cycling or scooting
Consider cycling or scooting with their child on the school run, possibly joining with other families as a ‘cycle train’
Provide their child with equipment such as high-visibility clothing, lights, a lock and cycle helmet as appropriate
Ensure that the bicycles and scooters ridden to school are roadworthy and regularly maintained.
