What is a School Travel Plan?
A School Travel Plan (STP) sets out a number of practical ways to reduce the number of car trips made to a school, encourage walking and cycling and to improve safety on the school journey.
Implementing a STP could bring many health, social and environmental benefits to your school including reducing the number of cars and congestion at the school gates, reducing air pollution and improving the health and fitness levels of pupils, staff and families.
What is a School Travel Plan Review?
A School Travel Plan (STP) Annual Review is a document which follows the original STP. The school must complete and submit an STP Review to the STP team every twelve months. The purpose of the STP Review is to monitor the progress which has been made over the previous year, and it includes mode of travel surveys, an evaluation of the previous action plan and the setting of new targets to work on over the coming year.
What is a School Travel Plan Full Review?
Three years after the school originally wrote their STP, the school is required to fully review their STP. The purpose of this is to ensure all the details within the plan are up to date and that further consultation is carried out with the whole school community.
What is an 'active' School Travel Plan?
For your school's School Travel Plan (STP) to be 'active' your school must complete and submit to the STP team a STP Review or STP Full Review, every 12 months, which meets all the essential criteria set out in the templates.
The benefits of having an 'active' STP may include the following:
- The opportunity to apply for a small grant (up to £2k)
- WoW resources
- Walk to School Week/Month resources
- Free Theatre in Education performances at your school
