Penshurst Primary School are proud to have been awarded the Modeshift Platinum logo and the Eco School flag award. This logo recognises the schools' achievement towards an increase in active travel modes. And to top this off, Penshurst is the first school in the local area to have ever received a Platinum Award from Modeshift!

Modeshift STARS is the Centre of Excellence for the delivery of Effective Travel Plans in Education, Business and Community settings. The scheme recognises schools, businesses and other organisations that have shown excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable active travel. Further information on Modeshift can be found here.

Throughout the year, Penshurst have created, developed and implemented a range of Effective Travel Plans to bring about a change in travel behaviour and to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicle journeys to and from school. This included The Big Walk and Wheel scheme, which the school developed to encourage their pupils to be more active and to walk, bike or scoot to school.
