More than 60 Enfield schools are now engaged and accredited in Travel for Life, which makes up 57% of all schools in the borough. This year, we achieved 48 Gold schools – a 14% rise from last year.

Travel for Life is TfL’s accreditation scheme for London schools and nurseries. It inspires young Londoners to travel to school sustainably, actively, responsibly and safely by championing walking, cycling and wheeling.

Schools that take part in Travel for Life are helping to:

1. Reduce traffic congestion at the school gates
2. Raise awareness of active travel and road safety
3. Improve air quality
4. Encourage a healthier and more active school community

Key insights:

1. Gold accreditation saw a significant increase compared to last year.
2. Silver and Bronze levels declined slightly, due to schools progressing to Gold.
3. Engaged schools dropped by 12, due to schools progressing to Bronze.
4. Unengaged schools dropped.
5. Accredited schools rose by 10, showing overall growth in the programme.
6. Accredited and engaged participation remains high.
