Listen out parents, your children have spoken.....
In order to maintain Greswold's Modeshift Stars Bronze Award accreditation for commitment to sustainable travel, each class in Y1-6 took part in a travel survey this week.
This involved the children communicating how they usually travelled to school each week and how they would like to travel to school in the future.
The results were very interesting as 197 pupils wanted to cycle to school compared to the 19 that currently do. Only 43 children felt they needed to use the car compared to the 180 that currently do.
Car sharing and walking to school with another family were interesting suggestions put forward by the children.
Greswold can appreciate that for some families, a considerable distance has to be travelled to get to school each day. However, if all vehicle using families could dedicate just one day a week to travelling more actively or sustainably, it would make a big difference to congestion outside school, to the safety of the children and their families and would also help children to achieve their Travel Tracker badge awards.
