The school has recently surveyed over 700 pupils and the staff about their journey to the site each day. The finding of the survey will form part of a School Travel Plan currently being drafted with Gloucestershire County Council. The aim of the plan is to assess how people access the school site every day and to plan ways in which this could be done in a more sustainable way in the future. The School Council met with Anne Johns from GCC, to discuss the findings of the survey and put forward suggestions for ways to encourage all users of the school site to travel in a more sustainable way.

The survey results highlighted a generally pleasing picture, but with specific concerns issues of safety and security raised. The School Council will be following up concerns with The Highways Agency and Stagecoach.

Survey results:

Of the 707 pupils who responded to the survey, 70% travelled using a sustainable method of transport:

42% of Pupils walk to school

16% of Pupils travel to school by bus

12% of Pupils cycle to school

As part of the initiatives planned to encourage a better profile for the school, the school will be holding a sustainable travel week in June to coincide with National Bike Week.

If you have any comments or suggestions about how the school could encourage a more sustainable approach to the school journey please contact Mr. Nye (Assistant Headteacher) at the school, or email the school: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
