Also only a minority are parents of school age children. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12843#post-154149 Wed, 21 May 2014 08:28:03 +0000 I were right about that saddle 154149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Your poll - are you interested in how individual posters travvelled to school XX years ago?</em></p> <p>Not if it was so long ago you use roman numerals... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12843#post-154147 Wed, 21 May 2014 08:11:12 +0000 fimm 154147@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Your poll - are you interested in how individual posters travvelled to school XX years ago? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12843#post-154138 Tue, 20 May 2014 22:40:35 +0000 chdot 154138@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"How much did Bradley Wiggins spend"</p> <p>Nothing - that's what sponsors are for! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12843#post-154136 Tue, 20 May 2014 22:27:39 +0000 Snowy 154136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good resources. I chuckled at this pupils' maths worksheet.</p> <p>"<br /> Work out the following cycling problems:<br /> - Bradley Wiggins bought two new cycle<br /> helmets for £825 each and three cycle<br /> jerseys for £250 each. How much did<br /> Bradley Wiggins spend in total?<br /> "</p> <p>I think I see the real reason some parents are being put off letting their kids cycle!

I note that CEC has started participating in STARS but only 8 schools at the moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12843#post-154128 Tue, 20 May 2014 21:13:50 +0000 Morningsider 154128@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sustrans provide a short guidance note at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/srs_developing_an_stp_st16.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/srs_developing_an_stp_st16.pdf</a></p> <p>TfL provides lots of resources for London schools - but much of it is only available to London schools who register for the STARS programme. There is still some useful stuff on the publicly available bit of the STARS website at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.staccreditation.org.uk/school/staccreditation.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.staccreditation.org.uk/school/staccreditation.php</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12843#post-154125 Tue, 20 May 2014 20:46:56 +0000 crowriver 154125@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Okay folks, I want to reach out to those who may know a thing or two for information on School Travel Plans.</p> <p>We have to update ours (it is <em>really</em> out of date), and I'm looking for information, guidelines, policies, etc. to share with teachers, pupils, parents at our primary school.</p> <p>I know the basics, I've seen the (rather minimal) guidance CEC have produced regarding School Travel Plans, and I know of policies/plans like Edinburgh's ATAP. </p> <p>Just wondering if anyone had links to/info about good practice, ideas, initiatives, projects, policies, guidance, etc.? As well as tips/hints on updating/producing a coherent plan document, I'm looking for examples of successful implementation.</p> <p>If you have been involved in this, or know anything about it, please share. I'm in learning mode here so any and all contributions welcome. </p>
