ANNUAL REVIEW AND AWARDSHaving completed all the work involved in producing a travel plan document, schools can perhaps justifiably feel that they’ve done quite enough! But it would all have been worthless if the targets in the travel plan are not pursued, and one way of keeping the whole project alive is to undertake annual review. The School Travel Plan Advisor is available to help throughout the school year, and at every stage of the review process. Annual ReviewWithin one month of the Annual Review date a report should be supplied to the School Travel Plan Advisor. It is the responsibility of the head and governors to ensure it is submitted on time, and should be completed by the travel plan coordinator with the involvement of pupils.

Evidence should be collected during the school year to demonstrate how the school has:-
The simplest way to do this would be to keep a box or file with photos, examples of work, cuttings from newspapers, etc. AwardsAll schools submitting an Annual Review to the School Travel Plan Advisor will achieve a certificate in recognition of their ongoing commitment to the project:- One star = 1 year old travel plan Double star = 2 year old travel plan Triple star = 3 year old travel plan From 2009, schools can be entered for Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of accreditation. Completion of Annual Review as outlined above will almost certainly lead to Bronze accreditation. For Silver and Gold awards, the school must demonstrate an ongoing commitment throughout the school year, and a modal shift away from car use, so it will be even more important to collect evidence of what the school is doing throughout the year. Full details are available from the School Travel Plan Advisor. |
