Travel
Here at The Downs Church of England Primary School we are aware of your concerns regarding travel issues surrounding school run pick up and drop off times.
We are working with KCC to help local residents and our school community keep safe during busy periods of the day.
We encourage our children and their families to walk to school, use scooters or bikes, even car share or WOW (Walk on Wednesday) promo's. We have workshops that teach children road safety, scooter safety and bikeability. You may have seen some of our children wearing 'Be bright be seen' reflective badges.
You can find a link below for our 2024 School Travel Plan, in which we have tried to provide a thorough overview of the issues we’ve observed on and around our school’s site. It also recognises the opportunities and the challenges that we are aware of as a school, in relation to promoting and encouraging greater levels of safer, active and sustainable travel.
If you are a local resident and experience any issues, please contact Dover Council to make a report. Reports to the council will support our Travel Plan and aid support for our area.
