We are now working for our fourth
Green Flag! Travel is the fourth theme of
the Green-Schools programme.
Travel is a national theme of Green-Schools and is supported by the Department of Transport and National Transport Authority.

As part of our Action Plan we will set Travel targets, with the ultimate aim of increasing
the number of pupils walking, cycling, scooting,car pooling or parking and striding
to school. This will ease congestion by reducing the number of private cars
coming close to the school.

By promoting sustainable transport modes (walking, cycling, scooting, car pooling or park and stride),
the school will also improve pupils' safety, health and fitness. The journey to school is an ideal way
for children to take part in regular physical activity, to interact with their peers, and to develop the road sense children need as pedestrians and cyclists. It also improves children's alertness. It has been
found that walking, cycling or using public transport to school increased pupils' concentration levels
in class.The school will also lessen its overall impact on the environment, by reducing emissions
and pollution.

Help us to get our fourth green flag by leaving the car at home!
