Last year, Great Baddow High School teamed up with the nationwide sustainable travel organisation Team Modeshift to promote active travel to and from school. The aim was to positively change people’s habits in how they travel to school, making travel healthier and more environmentally friendly.

Working alongside Keith from Modeshift, our Active Travel Ambassadors completed a presentation to members of Essex County Council at County Hall and were awarded a grant to spend on their travel initiatives, which included the “Golden Bike Lock” and “Park and Stride” schemes.

This week we were delighted to welcome Keith from Modeshift back into our school to speak with our students on what happens next and to present our 'Approved Certificate' for the Modeshift STARS Scheme to Mr Farmer.

More changes and initiatives will be rolled out this year as the Ambassadors continue to push for a more sustainable and safer way for our students to travel to school.
