School Travel

Advice for making the school run simpler and safer.

About the school travel team

Our School Travel Team offers support for the journey to and from school to all Brighton Schools. We provide resources, support and advice to help the school community, parents and pupils to make active and sustainable travel choices.

Our aim is to inspire parents, pupils and students to take action to increase active, sustainable travel to and from school across the city.

Benefits of active travel

The benefits of active travel to school include:

  • lower air pollution around schools and wider environment
  • increased health and fitness for children and parents,
  • lower costs for families.
  • less impact on the environment and reduced carbon footprint.
  • decreased congestion around school sites, therefore increasing children’s safety

Research tells us that pupils who travel actively will arrive brighter and more alert, ready for learning as well as generally happier. Research also shows us children who travel actively to and from school achieve higher academic success.
