Safe Routes to School Access Guides

What is a Safe Routes to School access guide?

A Safe Routes to School access guide is a leaflet that maps four to five safe and popular walking, wheeling and riding routes to your school. 

They're a great resource to encourage students and families of all ages and abilities, to get active for the school trip more often.

The access guides identify: 

  • local amenities 
  • ‘park and walk’ locations
  • walking bus starting points
  • locations of school bike parking
  • high traffic areas
  • crossing guard locations 
  • local walking and riding infrastructure. 

The Your Move team creates the guides and seeks review and input from the school and local government area to determine the best routes.

Printed copies are then delivered to you, ready to be distributed to the school community. 

Getting a guide

Funding for a Safe Routes to School access guide is typically available to Your Move schools that have achieved bronze accreditation or above, and completed a start of year Hands Up survey.

Funding for Safe Routes to School access guides has now closed, and the guides are no longer available.

Testimonials 

"Yesterday, our printed copies of the Map to School arrived! Great timing as it was sent out with our newsletter that afternoon. They look fantastic! I even had a teacher messaging me that, although she knew they were coming, she was extremely impressed with how professional they looked. One class is even using them for mapping for maths. Thank you all. I’d thoroughly recommend every school to get them. It was well worth the effort! - Julia Calvert" – Winterfold Primary School 

"Last week, we received 300 hard copies of them plus the digital copy. When handing them out to the students some classes used this as a chance for students to find their easiest way to get to a popular walking/riding track to assist them in walking or riding to school”. Liam Broad – Treeby Primary School
