Firs Hill School Travel Plan (STP)
We are currently pursuing the Health and Well-Being Theme of the Healthy Schools Initiative. Our aims for the School Travel Plan are to implement road safety awareness and improve the health and well being of pupils and parents. We hope that combining our Healthy Schools Theme with our School Travel Plan will allow us to effectively achieve our aims, not just amongst our pupils and parents, but also the wider Burngreave community. As a school we are committed to embracing the notion of a full service extended school
