Ten Trip TravelWise Travel Ticket

In keeping with the Willow Park School Travel Plan, which we launched in March, we have introduced a scheme which will recognise all those children who walk (independently or with a Walking School Bus), cycle or park’n’walk to school. We are also happy for children to scooter to School so long as the scooters are not used in the School grounds, and are stored sensibly in the cloakrooms during the day. All these children are helping to reduce congestion at the School gates, helping our environment and keeping themselves fit – and they should be recognised for that.

All about the Travel Ticket:   

• On the back of each ticket each child should write their name, room number, year  and House.

• The Travel Ticket is signed by a parent or guardian each time their child walks, cycles, scooters or uses the park’n’walk for a journey to or from School.  So if your child walks to school and then home again, they can have two trips

  signed off.

• Once the Ten Trip Ticket is completed, the student takes it to their Assembly on Friday.  There, all completed tickets are collected in and each completed ticket earns a House Point.

• New tickets will also be issued at the Assembly.

• There will be a teacher at each Assembly who will be ensuring that new tickets are available and that House Points are given out. We have chosen to do all this at the Assemblies so that those who hand in their completed tickets can be congratulated by their peers.

• As well as the House Point for each completed ticket, there will also be regular prize draws so it is important that we have all the details filled in please.
