Preparing STP

Ealing's school travel plan advisors are here to help your school to produce a plan; we provide:

advice
guidance
examples and templates
checklists
useful documents

We will attend meetings and provide materials and publicity to develop your plan. We can pay for your time (up to two days) to prepare and develop the plan. We will help make a difference for your pupils, your school and the environment. The rest is up to you.

We also run free workshops to support you in preparing your school travel plan.

Advice

When writing your plan, please keep the following in mind:

producing your plan does not have to be time consuming or costly
you can incorporate elements of writing the plan into the school curriculum
flexibility is the key to a successful plan:
- have regular reviews in response to changing circumstances
- ensure the plan is kept up-to-date
your plan should address your problems and provide you with solutions to those problems
the initiatives in the plan do not have to be achieved in one dramatic leap when you include:
- a number of small steps to take place over time
- short and long-term targets

A school travel plan must meet the criteria set by the DCSF and the Department for Transport (DfT). Schools submit their travel plan to the school travel advisors, who provide feedback to ensure it meets the approval criteria. Then assistant directors in Schools Services and Transport sign off the plans on behalf of the London Borough of Ealing. The school travel advisors then submit the plan to TfL for approval.
