STARS Awards

Modeshift STARS Awards

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.

The annual National School Travel Awards ceremony recognises schools that have demonstrated excellence in growing levels of walking, wheeling and other forms of sustainable and active travel within their school community.
