At our school, we encourage children to think carefully about how they travel to and from school each day. Using Travel Tracker, we keep a simple daily record of every child’s journey.

The aim is to promote healthier and more sustainable travel choices. Children can earn badges by choosing active or environmentally friendly ways to get to school. For example:

• Walking, cycling, or scooting all count towards a badge.

• Park & stride (parking a short distance away and walking the rest) also helps reduce congestion near school gates.

• Using public transport or car sharing with another family is another positive choice.

Every month, pupils who consistently make sustainable travel choices receive special badges to celebrate their efforts. We also share class and whole school results in our assemblies so that children can see the impact of their collective choices.

By taking part, children learn the benefits of being active, reducing pollution, and building healthy habits for life. Together, we are helping our school community stay healthier, greener, and more connected.
