Warblington School
The Travel Planning Team at Hampshire County Council has been working with Warblington School to produce two bespoke maps to support students with travelling actively to school*
*This project has been funded by Developer Contributions as part of the Harbour Place development (Harbour Place, Havant Road, Bedhampton, Havant, Hampshire, PO9 3LW).

To celebrate the launch, the Travel Planning Team ran an active travel Challenge Card. Warblington pupils were invited to record how they travelled to school during the week commencing 3rd October 2022. The more active the form of travel, the greater number of points that were earned. At the end of the week, pupils exchanged their cards for raffle tickets for a chance of winning a fantastic prize!

Temporary routes: Approximately 3.07 Miles / 4941 meters / 6889 steps to Warblington School
Until the improvement works at the Rusty Cutter Roundabout have been delivered, we have suggested the alternative route to Warblington School:
Starting on Havant Road (A2030) head east and join Bedhampton Hill. Follow this and turn north onto Glebe Park Avenue. Follow this road until it joins with Portsdown Hill Road. Turn east and follow the pathway (crosses the A3(M) to the roundabout/junction with Bedhampton Road. Carefully cross Portsdown Hill Road and Maylands Road and Continue on Bedhampton Road. Cross Hulbert Road using the signalised crossing point. Continue on New Road until you reach the roundabout then cross the Petersfield Road using the signalised crossing point and head straight across onto Elmleigh Road. Use the crossing to proceed onto Eastern Road. Turn right onto New Lane and use the footbridge across the railway line and onto Fairfield Road. Shortly after crossing the railway line pick up School Lane and follow this through the housing estate and then onto a shared cycle/pedestrian path onto Warblington School.
Car Journey / 5-10 Minute Walking Bubble:
If you do consider yourself an essential driver, please do try and avoid coming all the way to Southleigh Road and instead drop your child safely and considerately on a suitable side street to walk in to school, which will take between 5-10 minutes.
Please always park safely, legally and considerately.
