We are part of [TFL's STARS accreditation scheme](https://stars.tfl.gov.uk). Encouraging active travel to school has a wide range on benefits, both for the school community, but also for the area around the school and for our community and residents in terms of less traffic and congestion. The benefits of having an active School Travel Plan include: **For children** - Improving health and fitness by walking, scooting and cycling - Improving travel awareness and road user skills - Improving awareness of their surroundings![](https://www.fairholme.hounslow.sch.uk/images/partners/STARS_Kitemarks_Silver_2022_100x275.jpg) **For the school** - Improving safety around the school - Reducing congestion around the school - Establishing safer walking and cycling routes around the school **For parents/carers** - Reducing stress and time spent driving to school, especially when it is congested - Increasing quality parent/child contact time - Building better links with the school **For the local community** - Improving the local environment by reducing air and noise pollution - Reducing congestion problems - Improving walking routes - Improving road safety We are keen to help our children stay safe on the busy roads around our school and in our city. We offer sessions on walking to school and crossing roads safely for our younger children, and Bikeability (cycling proficiency) for our older children in Year 5 and Year 6.
