Green Council 2011
Parents , children and staff
were all concerned about the
number of cars near school at
the beginning and at the end
of the day.
Having more cars on the road
means more dangers for
cyclists and pedestrians.
It is also bad for the
environment , as cars emit
fumes which can damage the
air around us.
•Over half of you (56%)
said you enjoyed
walking and cycling to
school.
•This is great news for
your health as walking
and cycling are great
ways to keep you fit
and its great for the
environment.
•Well done keep it
going!
Just under half of you came to school in the car. There were many reasons for this. Some of you live further away, some of your parents have to go straight to work after dropping you off. Some parents are limited with time other parents enjoy using the car.
We would like to reduce the number of cars near our school to improve safety and the environment around us.
70% of your parents said they would use a Park and stride scheme if one was introduced and this is what we have done.
Rather than parents driving all
the way to school and clogging
up the roads near school.
Parents drive part of the way
and park in an arranged car
park. For us this is the Booths
Supermarket car park.
Then you can walk the rest of
the way to school.
This way you get some
exercise, the roads around
school are safer because there
are fewer cars. The
environment also benefits as
less fuel is consumed and so
there is less pollution.
Walking to school
Cycling to school
Riding a scooter to school
Using the park and stride scheme.
NO points will be awarded for
those who come in the car.
Even if you can ask
your parents to use
the park and stride
at least one day a
week the points will
count and you, your
parents and the
environment will
benefit.
Well that will count
as 5 points – one
for each day
