Journey to School

As a school, we would like you to consider your journey to school which could help reduce traffic congestion and improve the safety of our children. Please see the Travel map and bus route  below for ideas on how to do this.

Traffic survey - November 2021

Many thanks to Rob Bounds from Derbyshire Travel smart and parent volunteers for helping with a traffic survey in November 2021. The results can be seen below. A message to parents written by Mr. Averis and Rob can be seen below. 

“A recent traffic count by the Council confirms there are lots of cars around school in the morning and afternoon. This volume of traffic is a concern both in terms of road safety and the negative impacts of congestion and air pollution. Over the coming weeks and months we want everyone to continue to work together to help find and implement possible solutions which could include:

encouraging more people to swap the car for walking or scooting

asking those who drive to school to park further away and walk the last 5 minutes of the journey to school

working with the Council to investigate the options for closing the road to traffic.

This will help support our work around promoting active travel by encouraging healthy and environmentally friendly journeys.

Many thanks - Mr. Averis and Mr. Rob Bounds. 

We are taking part in the national Modeshift Sustainable Travel Accreditation & Recognition for Schools award initiative which aims to:

• increase opportunities for daily physical activity by promoting active and healthier ways of travelling to school such as walking, cycling and scooting;

• make a contribute to improving air quality;

• help reduce traffic congestion;

• promote safer and sustainable ways of travelling for all journey modes.

National Clean Air Day 20th June 2019

As part of National Clean Air Day, some of Belper's Town Councillors and the Mayor came in today to work with the Year 2 and Year 3 children. They encouraged the children to think about ways to keep our air clean, ways such as walking to school, giving the car a rest and planting more trees.
