This leaflet shows estimated 2 minute and estimated 5 minute walking zones.
In order to reduce congestion at the school gate we would like people who currently arrive by car to try parking outside of the walking zones and walk the rest of the way to school.
This will improve safety and the environment around the school site for everyone and allow the opportunity for some healthy exercise at the start and end of the school day.
Thank you for supporting our walking zones.

Walking Zones

If you live inside the walking zones you could walk or cycle to and from school every day. Even if you need the car to travel to work, it may be quicker and easier to leave it parked at home while you walk to school.

Our aim is to reduce traffic congestion around the school, and encourage families to walk at least part of their journey to school.

If you live just outside the zone, try walking or cycling - it could be quicker than you think!

If you have to travel by car to school, please try to park outside the walking zone, with care and consideration for local residents, and walk the rest of the way.

If everyone works together to do this, there will be fewer cars around the school site, meaning less congestion, less pollution, and a nicer environment for your children each day.
