South Hill Primary School

Our School Travel Plan at South Hill Primary School aims to encourage a healthy lifestyle and positive well-being for all. We work closely with Herts Travel Team and we currently hold a “Good” Award for our Travel Plan.

​

Some of the aims of the School Travel Plan include:

 

•  Improved safety of pupils due to less traffic.

• Less congestion around the school and in the local community.

• Healthier, happier, more alert pupils, thanks to active travel such as, cycling and walking.

• Avoiding parking issues around the school ground

• Less pollution around the school and local area.

• Improved road awareness of pupils.

• Greater staff health and well-being.

• Improved journey reliability for staff, pupils and parents.

• ​

 As a school, we actively promote walking, using a scooter, park and ride or cycling as a way of getting to school each day. Additionally, during our Walk to School Week we again encourage and record how children get to school each day that week. This is a great opportunity to help children reach their minimum 60 minutes of exercise per day.

At South Hill, we ask that no cars enter the school car park during drop off and collection. Parking is very restricted around the immediate school site. Please be considerate to our local residents if parking nearby to the school or consider parking and walking. Within the school grounds, we also have a scooter station to keep bikes and scooter dry from the weather!

​Tom, our school crossing officer regularly visits school

Tom sends the following message to keep your children safe.

1) A reminder to stay on the footpath until Tom call you to cross, do not cross before.

2) Any children who bring bikes and scooters must get off and push them across the road.

3) Parents, for the safety of all PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON YELLOW LINES or close to the crossing patrol area.

We thank Tom very much for helping to keep our pupils safe ​
