Our Walking Bubble is helping to create a voluntary car-free zone around our school, encouraging everyone who can to ‘Get Active’ on their journeys to and from school. If you have to travel by car, you could park at least 5-minutes away from school, creating a safer space for walking, cycling and scooting. By placing these restrictions, we also reduce the number of cars parked on pavements outside and close to the school gates, which as you will know is one of the main concerns that parents and staff have around walking to school. Reducing vehicles and creating more space will also make it much easier for families to socially distance and feel safer around school gates.
