1. Foreword1.1 Background to School Travel PlansThe Government through its ‘Travelling to School Initiative’ wants to see all schoolswith a Travel Plan by March 2010, by bringing a step change in home-to-school travelpatterns to cut congestion and pollution and also allowing many more pupils to takeregular exercise.School Travel Plans show how a school community intends to play its part in reducingunnecessary car travel for the school journey and promote more sustainable andhealthy travel.The School Travel Plan can set out measures:• to reduce the number of car trips made to and from school, minimising congestionassociated with “the school run”.• to promote the use of healthier and more environmentally friendly forms oftransport following concerns over student health and lack of exercise.• to improve safety during the journey to school and give children an opportunity togain important road sense and independence.1.2 Why we want a School Travel PlanSt John’s School & Community College in Marlborough has identified a need for aTravel Plan which will enable the school to support students and staff to travel in ahealthy, sustainable and safe way on their school journeys.The school is currently based on two sites, which causes specific problems for bothstaff and students who are required to commute between the two sites, a returnjourney of 2.4 miles.The school is about to commence construction of a new single-site school, with aseparate new access road. The travel plan enables the school to maximize theopportunities presented by the new school for safe, healthy and sustainable travel toand from school.The aims of the St John’s Travel Plan are:• To identify the key factors that impede students from switching to moresustainable and healthy modes of transport.• To investigate realistic solutions for the current split site situation, which includesthe aspect of commuting between sites and the anticipated new single site.• To ensure that the new single-site school is seen as a model of good practice inencouraging safe, healthy and sustainable travel to and from school for bothstudents and staff• To engender a sense of responsibility in all members of the school communitytowards their own safety and the safety of others on the school journey• To improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists on their journey to school,encouraging sustainable travel as an alternative to car travel and promotingstudent and staff health and fitness• To promote safe and considerate driving and parking for those who have to travelby car3
