Travel Titans

Our Travel Titans are part of the National School Travel Awards and have successfully achieved Modeshift STARS. This national recognition celebrates schools that promote safer, greener, and healthier travel. We’re proud to have earned the Silver award and are now working towards Gold, encouraging sustainable travel within our school community and making a positive impact on the environment.

Who we are:

Our Travel Titans are knowledgeable about road safety and sustainability, particularly through their Geography lessons and have been chosen to represent their class. We have 6 representatives from each Year 1 and Year 2 class who collaborate closely with Miss Rashid.

What we do:

The Travel Titans develop and implement our school's Travel Plan through Modeshift STARS. They play an active role in promoting sustainable travel and educating students about road, bike and scooter safety. Throughout the year, they help: organise events, lead Road Safety assemblies, run various competitions, projects and campaigns across the school to encourage active and safe travel.

Our school participated in Cycle to School Week 2024 with the Bikeability Trust. Despite the rain, it was wonderful to see children and adults cycling to school! Each class carried out surveys to find out who cycled and winners from each class were chosen to receive a Road Safety prize bag. Throughout the week, classes completed activities focused on the benefits of active travel, promoting both health and sustainability.

Arriva Bus Fantastic Finish

Reception were given the opportunity to explore an Arriva bus. A bus driver came to visit and taught us all about the different features of the bus and how it works. We even got to understand why public transport is a better form of travel and a more 'awesome way to travel' compared to a car.

Smoothie Bikes

As part of our Sports Week, our school featured smoothie bikes, which encouraged children to cycle to school sustainably instead of relying on cars. This fun initiative allowed students to pedal their way to delicious smoothies while promoting healthy habits and active travel. The day was filled with laughter and excitement as children embraced the opportunity to stay active, enjoy fresh fruit, and learn about the benefits of cycling for both their health and the environment.

Our school took part in Walk to School Week, a five-day walking challenge to promote active travel. All children and staff embraced the theme ‘Magic of Walking’ by wearing their own creative and ‘Magical Shoes’. From feathers to fairy dust, the school community showed off their unique designs while walking, scootering, or cycling to school. It was a fun and imaginative way to encourage healthier and greener ways to travel!

Reception’s Welly Walk

As part of their focus on active travel and sustainability, Reception went on a welly walk around the local area, where they observed traffic and learned about road crossings and traffic safety. The children explored the surroundings, discussing ways to protect the environment, such as keeping the area litter-free for both visitors and wildlife. The walk not only reinforced their understanding of road safety but also encouraged them to think about sustainable habits while enjoying the outdoors.
