TfL Travel for Life

We are part of the TfL education programme called TfL Travel for Life.

We are delighted to have our GOLD Award which is valid until 2028!

Being a part of this programme, we're determined to help young Londoners travel better and make better decisions that impact their lives and the lives of those around them. 

What we have achieved towards the accreditation and to support our children in developing independence, confidence and the way they travel to and from school:

• Balance bike training for our Nursery children
