Shropshire school travel plans

All state maintained schools in Shropshire and 11 independent schools have now developed a school travel plan. Shropshire Council continues to work with schools which have moved to a new site, merged or newly opened to develop new school travel plans.

We also work with schools to review their existing travel plans to ensure that they remain relevant and to monitor the schools' achievements.

Schools that completed a School Travel Plan before 31 March 2010 were eligible to receive capital grants from the DCFS. Primary schools received around £5,000, and secondary schools £10,000.

Further funding opportunities

Shropshire School Travel Plan achievement awards and grants

Shropshire Council has developed an award scheme to help schools sustain their existing travel plan. Schools with a travel plan can apply for silver or gold award status to receive an additional £250 grant if they have actively promoted their travel plan and achieved some of their objectives and targets.

Why develop a school travel plan?

By developing a travel plan, a school is showing a commitment to a safer, cleaner and more attractive school environment.

Preparing a travel plan also creates excellent curriculum activities in a wide range of subjects including geography or ESD, ICT, PSHD and citizenship.
School travel plans can also contribute to other projects such as Healthy Schools, Safe Schools and Eco-Schools.

Follow the links on this page for more information about how to develop a travel plan and the resources that are available. You can also find useful ideas for initiatives to incorporate into your plan and ideas for ways to make walking and cycling to school more fun.
