Resources for secondary schools
You will find information and files to download for our most up to date resources which can provide a fun way to encourage active travel on the school run.
Transition resources
To help schools support families and pupils with the transition to a new school there are a range of resources on our Hampshire Transition Time page, including ideas on planning a new route to school.
Just the Journey maps
These maps have been developed to assist new Year 7 pupils as they adjust to their new, independent travel to secondary school. See if your school has one, or use the resources on that page to make your own.
Supporting documents for schools
Please download the documents below for use in your new parent and carer packs and on your social media channels.

Active Travel Ambassador scheme
Modeshift STARS is the National Accreditation scheme that encourages schools to increase levels of sustainable travel in the school community. To support your secondary school in delivering a successful behaviour change programme and work towards STARS accreditation, Modeshift have developed a programme to help pupils design their own campaign focussed on active travel or road safety, with an opportunity for them to present their ideas to the school community. To see how the Active Travel Ambassador programme could benefit your school read about one school's experience of the scheme - George Abbot School, Active Travel Ambassadors .

This booklist invites pupils to discover the joys and benefits of active and sustainable travel - from walking and cycling to using public transport and exploring eco-friendly innovations.

The Parkwise Promise
In an effort to create a safer environment outside your school at the beginning and end of the day we are participating in ‘The Parkwise Promise’, a Council led initiative to target dangerous and inconsiderate parking near to schools. Please see our Parkwise page for more information.
Create a 'Travel to our school' webpage
Our toolkit to help you create a 'travel to our school' webpage has been designed to provide you with content you could make available to pupils and parents to guide them on how they could travel to school. Adding this information to your ‘parents page’, ‘contact page’ or ‘how to find us’ will mean they have alternative ways to travel to school instead of by car to help reduce congestion and pollution at the school gate and keep everyone fitter and healthier. There are some great examples of what other schools are doing too.

School Road Safety Pavement Signs
School Road Safety Pavement Signs (sometimes referred to as Kiddi Signs) are temporary signs intended to promote road safety near schools. Schools can apply to the Council for consent to erect Road Safety Pavement Signs in specific locations at specified times. The School Road Safety Pavement Signs School Guidance provides information about what to consider when identifying locations for your signs and the application process.
Travel Surveys
Gain an understanding of how your pupils are travelling to school with our travel survey for students, staff and parents, and then talk to us about how we can help you improve their journey to school.
