STAR Accreditation
The School Travel Accreditation Scheme awards schools for the work they put into implementing their School Travel Plans and celebrates good practice. There are three levels which schools can apply for:
- Sustainable Level
- Higher Standards

Each level requires a greater level of participation in sustainable travel initiatives and whole school involvement.

There are many benefits of becoming accredited including:
- An accreditation plaque and certificate for your school
- Use of the accreditation logo for your school letterhead
- Invitation to Transport for London's accreditation awards event
- Priority for funding from Hackney Council
- Priority for resources from Hackney Council
- Recognition for the achievements of your School Travel Plan
