The Little Village School with a Big Heart
What is the School Travel Plan?
The main aim of the School Travel Plan (STP) is to reduce single occupancy car use on the school journey, by promoting and encouraging safe and sustainable travel. Increasing sustainable travel helps to reduce congestion and pollution, as well as improving the health and fitness of children.
At Dorney School, we would like to reduce the number of children travelling to and from school by car as we know traffic and parking around the school is a huge concern.
We actively encourage our pupils and staff to walk, scoot or cycle to school as they:
Where a car must be used we ask parents to drive only part of the way, and drop their child(ren) off away from the school so that some of the journey can be walked or scooted. Parking is very restricted around the immediate school site. We ask that parents do not use the staff car park and that visitors refrain from doing so where possible. We also plead with anyone coming to our school to refrain from driving down or parking in Harcourt Close, the road leading up to the school. There is ample parking in the village hall car park at the rear of the school. We ask that you are courteous to oncoming cars whilst using this route. Please be considerate to our local residents when parking nearby to the school.
