INTRODUCTION
Many local schools have expressed concern about the number of cars present in the vicinity of the school gate at peak times . This congestion not only increases pollution levels and adversely affects local air quality, but also results in a more dangerous environment for children arriving at school .
Childhood obesity is increasing nationally, with many children not achieving the minimum sixty minutes of physical activity at moderate intensity required each day for a healthy lifestyle . Continued dependence on the car for the school run is not helping this trend .
The World Health Organisation has suggested that a sedentary lifestyle is one of the ten leading global causes of death and disability, and the Department of Health have stated that infancy, childhood and young adulthood are critical stages in the development of habits that will affect people’s health in later years .
The school journey is an ideal way for both parents and young people to become more active . Whether it’s a 30-minute or 5-minute journey, every little bit counts .
This guide aims to help schools encourage more walking and cycling on the journey to and from school . By providing a variety of different incentive schemes, classroom projects, curriculum links and ways parents can help, we hope there will be at least one idea from this guide that every school can try .
If you would like help introducing one or more of these ideas at your school please contact the school travel advisor:

ROAD SAFETY
The safety of every pupil on the journey to school is very important to us . We would not promote any walking or cycling scheme which we think would expose a child to unnecessary danger . However, it is important that children get the opportunity to learn and practice road safety skills and, if properly supervised, the journey to school can be an ideal time to put theory into practice .
The Council’s road safety team have a wide range of presentations and resources to help teach key skills to young people, from nursery age to young drivers .
The presentations and resources available free from the road safety team can be found in the regularly updated booklet that is dispatched to schools . If you can not find yours then contact the team .
The Road Safety Team can be contacted on 01344 352000 or by email at Road .SafetyETP@Bracknell-Forest .gov .uk

INCENTIVE SCHEMES
Walk on Wednesday or Walk once a Week
What’s the idea? • pupils are given a card each, with space for stamps/marks/stickers to be added
• the school chooses their WoW day for the term
• every week throughout the term, children who walk (or cycle, scoot or skate) to school on this day get their cards stamped/marked /stickered
• at the end of the term, children who have collected ten stamps/marks/stickers receive a reward
• children who usually come by car can join in by asking the car driver to park further away and walk for an agreed distance on the WoW day
What do we need to do? • create the cards and stickers if you are using them – you can ask the children to design the
cards – the council may be able to help with design and prinitng
• choose a WoW day – talk to the children about which day they prefer, and try to pick one when children are not carrying extra kit or equipment such as musical instruments .
• decide who is going to stamp/mark/sticker the cards – some schools get the school council to perform this task, often at first break, others ask teachers or teaching assistants to do it in class, and some schools have parents stamping in the playground before the bell goes .
• let your parents and children know about the scheme - guidelines, including a sample letter to parents, are available from the council’s School Travel Advisor
• decide what is an acceptable walking distance for those who come by car – again asking the children is the best way to achieve this
• decide on the reward children will receive – this doesn’t have to cost, it could be things like a uniform free day, golden hour, extra break time, front of the dinner queue passes – ask your pupils what they want
Variations • you could extend the scheme so that every day a pupil walks they get a stamp/mark/sticker
and then awards are given after say 25 walks, 50 walks, and 100 walks
• rather than giving out stamps, children are given a raffle ticket, the more they walk the more raffle tickets they are given, then once a week/month/term a raffle is held and prizes given out
PAGE 6
Golden Boot Challenge
What’s the idea? • Pupils record how they travel to school each day for a set period eg a term
• Walking, cycling and public transport get maximum points, car use gets minimum points
• Classes compete against each other to see who are the most sustainable travellers at the end of the time period
• The winning class receives a trophy (a boot or shoe spray-painted gold and mounted on a plinth) to display in their classroom
What do we need to do? • Decide how your pupils will record how they have travelled - this could be a wall chart the
children fill in, a question asked at register, a spreadsheet set up in Excel
• Decide the length of your challenge – every day for a term, every Friday for a term, a particular month
• Decide on a points system for your school – this could be 3 points for walking or cycling, 2 points for using public transport and 1 point for coming by car (this way each child can take part), ask your pupils what they think is a good scoring system
• At the end of the period calculate which class has the most points per pupil – each class can calculate their own total as part of a maths lesson
• Award the trophy – your pupils can make the trophy in an art class by painting an old shoe and fixing it to a piece of wood, or ask a local business to sponsor a trophy for you
Variations • Take a baseline survey before the scheme starts and award the boot to the class with the
biggest points increase
• Instead of classes competing, year groups could compete
• Instead of a trophy the award could be a box of games or dressing up clothes for a class to use .
CLASSROOM PROJECTS Walk around the world
What’s the idea? • Every time a pupil walks or cycles to school they collect ‘green miles’ eg 1 walk = 10 green
miles
• The green miles are added together and plotted as a route on a map
• The route travels around the world
• Each time the route reaches an interesting destination, lessons are adapted to learn more about the destination eg a specific country, a historical building, the scene of a battle
What do we need to do? • Decide how the green miles will be counted – talk to your pupils to decide on the best way
• Plot a route around the world and calculate how many miles there are to each destination on your route – google maps can help with this task
• Plan a lesson for each chosen destination – think about links to history, geography, art, English, science, languages, PSHE
Variations • You could walk around Bracknell Forest, or the British Isles, or each of the continents
• You could ‘cycle’ the Tour de France route using bike miles
• Classes can compete to see who can walk round the world/to a destination first .

Greening the Trees
What’s the idea? • A visual representation of how ‘green’ the travel to school journeys of a class are
• Once a week/month/term children are asked how they travelled to school
• Each child is given a leaf shape
• If they have travelled sustainably – walk, cycle, public transport – they colour in their leaf green, if they have travelled by car they colour it in brown
• The pupils put their leaves on a tree shape drawn on the class wall
What do we need to do? • Decide on the frequency of your survey
• Draw tree templates and leaf templates
• Discuss the implications of the ‘health’ of the tree with the pupils
Variations • Have one big tree in the school hall for all the pupils and dedicate an assembly a month/term to
discussing the health of the tree
• Have one tree per school year in the main hall and compare the healthiness of each tree as a competitive element
• Colour leaves bright green for walking, cycling or public transport, a paler shade for park and stride, yellow for car sharing, and brown for car to the school gates
Step Counters
What’s the idea? • A pack of 32 step counters that can be loaned from the council
• Each pack comes with a booklet of twenty lesson ideas for using the step counters
• Pupils in the class are given a step counter to record how many steps they take while taking part in a variety of exercises
• Pupils learn about physical activity in their everyday lifestyles
What do we need to do? • Contact the council to book the step counter pack
• Use the booklet to create some lessons using the pack, or create your own lessons .
PAGE 10
t ll l
Poster Competition
What’s the idea? • Pupil’s design posters to promote walking or cycling to school
• Each month or term, winning designs are used around the school
• The best entry from all schools will be used across the borough to promote walk to school week in May
What do we need to do? • Dedicate a lesson to creating the posters – this could include looking at adverts for other
products and discussing what makes a successful advert
• Choose a theme each month/term – eg health benefits of walking and cycling, environmental benefits, safety, learning and practising road safety skills, making new friends
• Decide on how you will choose the winning entry – eg school council vote, whole school vote
• Make copies of the winning poster entry and put them up around the school, you could also include a copy in the next school newsletter (the Council can help with scanning the winning entry if required)
• Send your best poster to the Council each March so that it can be considered for the poster to promote Walk to School week in May
Variations • You could turn the wining posters into a calendar
• Instead of a poster competition you could have a photo competition, asking pupils to take a photograph of something they see on their journey to school
• Photos from those who walk or cycle are likely to be more interesting than from those who travel by car
Walk to School Week 22nd 26th May 2006

Map of walking routes to school
What’s the idea? • Pupils help identify key walking and cycling routes to school
• Pupils help create artwork for a map highlighting the routes
• The map is sent out to families, new entrants, included on the website and in the prospectus etc
What do we need to do? • Give pupils a blank map showing the school and the neighbouring area (these can be provided
by the Council)
• Get pupils to mark on their route to school
• Take the pupils out along the most popular routes and ask them to draw what they see – eg buildings, trees, crossings, interesting objects etc
• When you have collected all the art work, contact the council who will help you turn the artwork into a map
Variations • You could work with neighbouring schools to create a combined map for your area

PAGE 12
WHOLE SCHOOL IDEAS Walking Bus
What’s the idea? • A group of children walking to school in hi-vizibility tabards in an organized group, escorted by
parents
• The ‘bus’ follows an agreed, timetabled route, picking up passengers as it goes
• Children who would normally be driven to school by parents eager to continue on to work, can be picked up by the bus instead
What do we need to do? • Ask your parents if they would be interested in a walking bus – either in terms of letting their
children be part of one, or helping to run one
• If you have enough positive response, decide on a route and timetable for your bus
• Volunteers will need to be DBS checked in order to qualify for public liability insurance, and the route will need to be risk assessed by the council’s road safety officer
• For more details contact the council’s School Travel Advisor
Variations • For more details contact the council’s School Travel Advisor
PAGE 13
Walking Taxi
What is it? • An informal arrangement where a small group of children walk to school with one or more adults
• Often working best in streets where some children already walk and those who are normally driven can join the existing walkers
What do we need to do? • Encourage parents and pupils to walk together to school
• Identify areas where children who walk live near children coming by car – the council can provide post code plotted maps to help with this
• Find ways to contact families in target areas – this could be through a coffee morning for everyone living in certain streets, or a presentation on parents evening, or through the school newsletter, or a big map on display in reception asking for people to sign up as either “willing to walk other children” or “looking for someone to walk my child”
• Consider an incentive for children or parents who walk with other children .
Cycle Train
What’s the idea? • A group of children cycling to school in hi-vizibility tabards in a group, escorted by parents
• The ‘train’ follows an agreed route, picking up passengers as it goes
• Parents who may be nervous about their child cycling to school on their own may be more willing to allow their child to cycle in a group
What do we need to do? • Ask your parents if they would be interested in a cycle train – either in terms of letting their
children be part of one, or helping to run one
• If you have enough positive response, decide on a route and timetable for your train
• Volunteers will need to be DBS checked in order to qualify for public liability insurance, and the route will need to be risk assessed by the council’s road safety officer
• For more details contact the council’s School Travel Advisor
PAGE 15
Cycle Permit Scheme
What’s the idea? • Children who want to cycle to school have to apply for a cycle permit
• The permit is promoted as something ‘cool’ to have, so that other children are encouraged to cycle to get a permit
What do we have to do? • Decide on the criteria for obtaining a permit, this could include such things as: bike must be
checked by school staff to ensure it is roadworthy, pupil must have a helmet and a lock, parent signs an agreement slip
• Involve your pupils in how to make the permit ‘cool’ or a desirable status symbol – it could be a badge to wear, a sticker to put on a cycle helmet, a spoke reflector .
PAGE 16
IDEAS FOR THOSE COMING BY CAR Create a car-free walking zone
What’s the idea? • Set up a voluntary car-free zone around the school
• Parents and children arriving by car are asked to observe the car-free zone by parking at its perimeter and walking the remainder of the way to school
• Those who live within the zone are encouraged to walk
• Keeping cars away from the school gate will make it safer for those who already walk and will hopefully encourage more to do so
What do we need to do? • Agree with your pupils what distance or period of time, constitutes a ‘reasonable’ walk
• Ask pupils to mark on a map their journey from home to school (maps can be supplied by the council)
• Get pupils to calculate in lessons (eg maths) how far the average pupil can walk in the agreed time period and plot this distance on the map, starting from the school and working towards home
• Use all the maps combined to create the car free zone
• Use landmarks or the start of roads to help pupils and parents understand where the zone starts
• Try to identify safe parking places at the perimeter of the zone
A lesson plan pack is available to help you set up a walking zone . This can be requested from the coincil’s School Travel Advisor
Variations • The car-free walking zone could be used in conjunction with a WoW scheme
• Combine the car-free walking zone with a park and stride or driveway sharing scheme .
PAGE 17
Park and Stride
What’s the idea? • Identifying a safe place for parents to park, away from the school gate
• Minimizing congestion and potentially dangerous car manoeuvres directly outside school
• Encouraging children to walk at least part of the way to school enables them to get some of the health benefits of physical activity
What do we need to do? • Identify potential locations where parents could park safely for a limited period– eg pubs,
churches, supermarkets, local businesses – ask parents and pupils to suggest suitable sites too
• Approach the locations to seek permission for parents to park, or speak to the School Travel Advisor
• Promote the sites to parents as potentially safer, quicker alternatives to trying to find a space outside the school gates
Variations
• Combine with a walking bus operating from the park site
• Combine with a car–free walking zone
• Include park and striders in incentive schemes

PAGE 18
Driveway sharing
What’s the idea? • Parents who drive their children to school park on the drive of a family who walk to school
• Cars are kept off the highway and away from the school gates
• Local residents are not inconvenienced by parent parking and the school gate area is kept clear for those walking or cycling to school
What do we need to do? • Write to parents explaining the idea
• Ask parents of children who walk to school whether they would be prepared to let another parent park on their drive, either someone they already know or someone new to them
• Devise a way of putting parents who are willing to share a drive in touch with parents looking for a driveway to park on - this could be by using a map in reception showing the location of offered driveways or just by matching offers and requests via a return slip in the newsletter
• Include children using the driveway idea in incentive schemes .
CURRICULUM LINKS
Virtually all the ideas included in this guide can be linked into the curriculum . If your pupils feel they have helped create a scheme they will be more likely to make it a success . Below are screen shots from the Department for Transport website which has lots of transport-related teaching resources linking into the curriculum for both Primary schools and Secondary schools .
The site can be found at http://think .direct .gov .uk/resource-centre/

Parking restrictions
Do not park where you are prevented from doing
so by restrictions – single yellow lines with time
restrictions, double yellow lines and school
keep clear zig-zags. These restrictions are often
deliberately placed to allow safe crossing of the
road. You may be glad of them when crossing to
your car.
Dropped kerbs
Dropped kerbs are there to assist people with
pushchairs and wheelchairs to cross the road.
Although it may be tempting if they provide a
convenient space, please don’t park so that you
block them. You are depriving someone of an
accessible place to cross the road.
Verges
Do not park on the verges – the damage caused
to these areas is both unsightly and costly to
repair. They are usually deemed part of the
highway so any parking restrictions apply to the
verge also.
Speed
Please drive slowly at school times, children may
suddenly step out into the road. Research shows
that if you hit a child at 40 mph there’s an 80%
chance they’ll be killed, but if you hit them at
30mph there’s an 80% chance they’ll survive.
At some schools the limit is only 20mph.
Car doors
For safety reasons it is advisable when picking up
or dropping off children to park your car such that
children can get in or out on the kerb side of the
car. In this way they are not getting out straight
into traffic. However, please be
aware of other
pedestrians using the footway before opening
your doors, as you may hit or obstruct them.

GET FIT•Adopting a physically active lifestyle can add years to life
•Adults should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate
activity on five or more days of the week
•Children should aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate
activity on five or more days of the week
•Cycling for just half an hour a day could halve your chances
of a heart attack
•Cycling for an hour burns on average 500 calories
•Cycling, whether it is a daily journey to work or school, a
trip to the local shops, or just a leisurely cycle for the pure
enjoyment of it, can help you achieve your recommended
activity levels
•If you are new to cycling, start off slowly and build up
gradually - if you have any concerns about your health,
speak to your GP
SAVE MONEY•The average UK household spends more on transport than
on any other category, accounting for over 13% of spending
•A bicycle is comparatively cheap to own and run
•The only fuel you need is your own energy
•You don’t need to pay road tax
•You don’t need to pay to park your bicycle
•Cyclists rarely get caught in traffic queues, so you won’t be
late for work
•You don’t need gym membership, just a willingness to get in
the saddle
•If you are in work, ask your employer about the tax-free
bikes for work scheme
HAVE FUN•Cycling is an excellent
way to discover Bracknell
Forest
•There are approximately
55 miles of off-road cycle
paths in Bracknell Forest,
and many routes are more
direct than travelling on
the road
•Cycling is an activity that
the whole family can enjoy
•Large parts of Bracknell
Forest are relatively flat so
you don’t have to struggle
up too many hills
•Explore the many parks and green spaces, most of which
are directly accessed by off-road cycle paths
•Cycling doesn’t add to pollution, so it’s guilt-free travel
CYCLE TRAINING•On-road Bikeability cycle training is offered to children who
are over 10 years old
•The training aims to encourage safe cycling by improving
skills, knowledge and attitudes, and improving behaviour
and hazard awareness
•If you would like to know more about Bikeability cycle
training contact the Council’s Road Safety team:
Telephone: 01344 351212
Email: [email protected]
•For adult cycle training information contact the Cyclists’
Touring Club:

TIPS FOR SAFER CYCLING
•When cycling on routes shared with pedestrians, always
warn others of your presence by use of a bell, adjust your
speed accordingly, and avoid cycling too closely. Some
pedestrians may be visually or hearing impaired so please
take extra care
•Take care when leaving cycle routes to join the main traffic flow
•A bike is very mobile in traffic but sudden swerves and zig-
zagging cannot be anticipated by motorists
•Look behind and signal clearly and in good time before
making a manoeuvre
•Be seen. Bright and reflective clothing helps both day and
night in addition to cycle lights
•Always wear a cycle helmet
•Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic if possible. Use cycle
tracks and cycle routes when they are available
•Before you set off, ensure your cycle is in good working order
•Be aware that some bridges/paths are not cycle routes but
links joining cycleways, therefore cyclists should dismount
for their own safety and that of pedestrians
“Activities such as walking and cycling, in addition to
improving physical health, can increase the sense of
well being and promote social interaction, which in
turn improves quality of life.”
Professor Ian Philp, Department of Health
CYCLE MAINTENANCEBefore setting out on any cycle journey, check to make sure your
bike is safe:
•Brakes Are they both working correctly?
•BrakeBlocks Are they worn? Are they positioned correctly
(so that they don’t rub on the wheel rim but do bring your
bike to a stop when required)?
•Saddle Is it tightly fixed at the correct height (so that when
sitting on it the balls of your feet can touch the ground)?
•Chain Is the tension correct – not so loose that it falls off, not
so tight that you can’t change gear safely? Is it well lubricated?
•Wheels Do they run straight? Do they rub against anything?
Are all the spokes present and tight?
•Tyres Are they worn or damaged? Are they fully inflated?
•Lights Are they clean and working properly?
