Modeshift Stars

Modeshift STARS is the national schools award scheme that has been established to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable travel. The scheme encourages schools across the country to join in a major effort to increase levels of sustainable and active travel in order to improve the health and well-being of children and young people.

Ashley Infant School participates in the scheme and  has achieved the Bronze Award.

Why take part?

• Healthier pupils - by encouraging active, healthier lifestyles for young people through more walking, scooting and cycling;
• Safer pupils - identifying issues and improving the quality of the environment around the school;
• Involving the whole school community - children, parents and teachers working together to make a difference;
• Changing behaviour - reducing the number of cars used on the school run.

Park and Stride

Please help make the school run safer and healthier by joining the families who are already walking, scooting and cycling to school. There are storage shelters available for your bikes and scooters and it makes a really healthy start to the day, cuts down on congestion and improves the air quality.
