Getting to Wool Primary School

Factoring in how your child/ren will be travelling to school is an important thing to consider. At Wool Primary School, we encourage children to travel actively by walking, cycling and scooting to school for all or a part of their journey. This benefits their physical and mental health. Fewer families travelling to school by car will reduce congestion and help to improve air quality outside the school gates, making a safer and more pleasant environment for all to enjoy. 

Benefits of active travel

• Build physical activity into the family’s daily routine to boost mental health and well-being, whilst benefiting the environment. 
  Your children will arrive at school more alert and relaxed, knowing they are helping their world.
• Fewer cars mean cleaner air and safer roads
  You experience far lower pollution levels when on a bike or walking than if you travel inside a car.  
• Increase road safety awareness and boost independence
  Cycling and walking to school prepares your children to become more independent travellers and creates good habits for their active adult life. 

Park and stride

Wool Primary School is surrounded by residential properties. On street parking is limited directly around the school. We understand that some parents and guardians may need to drive to school. If doing so, please park respectfully. There is ample free parking available at The D'Urberville Centre located along Colliers Lane.
