Modeshift STARS is a national accreditation programme for schools who want to improve their pupils’ health and wellbeing through active and sustainable travel. It can also help to directly impact and improve the environment around schools to the benefit of the wider school community.

STARS Travel Plans help to promote more active and sustainable modes of travel for the school journey, by encouraging pupils and their families to reduce the number of journeys made by car and to use active travel modes such as cycling, walking and scooting.

The online STARS system supports schools to develop, deliver and monitor a travel plan that tracks their progress as they achieve their aims and objectives, and set targets.

STARS can be used by all types of schools from Early Years establishments to Primary, Secondary and SEND schools as well as Independent schools. All schools in England are already registered on the site which is free to use and is supported by Active Travel England.

A school travel plan is a working document, used to promote and facilitate sustainable travel within schools. The Department for Travel, and Department for Education, encourage all schools to develop their own travel plan.

Booker Park School are delighted to have been reaccredited in 2023 with our Bronze Level Accreditation by nationally recognised Modeshift STARS, School Travel Accreditation Scheme.
