Going for Gold
About this activity
Suitable for all Silver and Gold accredited schools and nurseries.
NB: We’re bringing together all the TfL education programmes, including STARS, under one exciting new umbrella programme called TfL Travel for Life. They will be the same great programmes but with a new name and a new look, easier online process and dedicated support team. STARS for primary schools will be renamed TfL Explorers. STARS for secondary schools will be renamed TfL Pioneers.
Has your school gone the extra mile to make significant and lasting change to sustainable, active travel? This is your opportunity to highlight the impact that your TfL Travel for Life work has had on the school and the wider community.
A TfL Travel for Life Gold school demonstrates the highest level of participation and involvement. Active travel activities are identifiably engrained as part of the school’s culture and widely embraced.
We would encourage all TfL Travel for Life Gold applicants to explore the 'Going for Gold' Activity card. This will support your TfL Travel for Life Gold application. TfL Travel for Life Gold Schools demonstrate an exceptional level of participation and progress in at least one of the following categories:
- walking/scooter
- cycling
- road safety
- smarter driving
- public transport
- student-led project
For student-led projects, you and your school travel working group can support your TfL Explorers Ambassadors to plan, develop and carry out travel activities at your school.
