Working with other schools

About this activity

Suitable for all schools and nurseries.

Work with other schools or nurseries to exchange information, ideas and resources and team-up on events and activities throughout your TfL Travel for Life journey. This will help you to build stronger relationships with local schools and highlight the importance of active travel to a wider audience.

Ideas for working with other schools

• Organise a walk or cycle to school competition together and award a trophy to the winning school each year – like a local derby!
• Host a networking meeting to share ideas (your borough officer may be able to help with this)

Ideas for working with feeder schools

Working with your feeder schools can help ensure that new pupils arrive in September excited and already engaged with TfL Travel for Life. 

• Ask your Pioneers Ambassadors to deliver a presentation to Year 6 pupils about travelling actively and independently to their new secondary school
• Organise for your Explorers Ambassadors or a group of enthusiastic pupils to visit a local nursery school to perform a road safety assembly

How to evidence your activity

• Involve your borough officer: Share your ideas, agree your targets and discuss any challenges you face
• Record the feedback from other schools you work with and your colleagues and pupils who’ve been part of the partnership
• Sign in to TfL Travel for Life to add your story. Explain your activity, add any communications between the two schools and photos of joint events and activities
