Three schools in Buckinghamshire have achieved the highest level of accreditation for their sustainable travel plans from a nationwide scheme.
Stoke Mandeville Combined School, Haddenham St Mary’s Church of England School and High March School have all been awarded a platinum level travel plan accreditation with Modeshift STARS.
Modeshift STARS is a national schools accreditation scheme established to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable travel to and from school.
Head Teacher at Stoke Mandeville Combined School, Mrs Stewart said: “There’s so many things the children have been involved in – they’ve managed to do sustainable travel, they’re thinking about the environment, which as we know right now is such a high profile area to consider and it’s a great way to stay healthy.”
The scheme offers 5 levels of accreditation: Green, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The more initiatives schools organise to promote sustainable travel to school, the higher accreditation they will achieve.
The new awards bring the total number of schools in Buckinghamshire with travel plans accredited with Modeshift STARS to 63.
Eight schools have Green accreditations, 32 have Bronze accreditations, 11 have Silver accreditations, nine have Gold accreditations and three have Platinum accreditations.
