We are an Active Travel School and we encourage all of our pupils and families to travel to school in an active, healthy way. We want to have a healthy school community and safe streets around our school and we want to work together to protect the environment and minimise pollution around our school sites.

At CtS we work alongside the borough travel team to promote healthy travel choices,  and many of our initiatives each academic year are led by our Junior Travel Ambassadors. So far this year our JTAs have led assemblies on Road Safety, organised Road Safety competitions and run a ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ non uniform day to remind us all about how to be safe as we travel to school in the dark.

Alongside our JTA intiatives our PSHE curriculum supports our active travel plans by teaching road safety, healthy active choices and ways to tackle environmental concerns.

Walk, Cycle or Scoot

We would like to see as many of our families as possible walking, cycling or scooting to school. We have racks for scooters and bikes at both sites where bicycles and scooters can be left securely during the school day.

Public Transport

For those who live a little further away from school, we are well served by public transport, including the District Line, Central Line and Elizabeth Lines that all come into Ealing Broadway station.

One of our Year 6 pupils, Jamal, has carried out some research and would like to share the following information with prospective parents: 

Just so you know the nearest Overground station is Acton Central which is 20-30 minutes away from us. GWR has limited and RARE services from Greenford up to Paddington. Parents from Greenford you may take the central line via North Acton, parents from Southall you may take the Elizabeth line or GWR (national rail services) for more information call: 0343 222 1234

There are over 12 bus routes in the local area. 

Park and Stride

For those parents who do need to use the car to bring their children to school we encourage families to ‘park and stride’. The map below show parents all the streest within a 10 minute walk of the school. Parking and striding is a great way of getting some exercise into our day!

Grove Site School Street

At our Grove Site we have a School Street in place, this is a low traffic zone that was introduced in 2021 thanks to the hard work of our staff, parents and pupils who wanted to create a safer environment outside the Grove site.

The School Street means that cars cannot drive down The Grove between 8:15am and 9:15am or between 2:45 and 3:45pm. This restrictions applies on Mondays to Fridays during term time according to the dates published on Ealing Council’s website. Our School Street begins at the junction of The Grove and Windsor Road where there are signs and a camera with an automatic plate recognition system in place (ANPR). Anyone who enters the School Street Pedestrian and Cycle Zone without a permit, within the operational times, will receive a penalty charge notice in the post, a £65 fine.
