The number of pupils cycling to school is at a respectable level, above the national average. However, more are travelling in by car and fewer are walking to school.

The first choice was, for a large percentage of the pupils in Hampshire, to walk or cycle to school. This is good as these modes of transport promote health and fitness, and can have positive environmental effects.

As would be expected, the majority of staff travel into school by car. It is, however, encouraging to see how many of these journeys are made by two or more people sharing cars.

The modes of transport used in each area type are relatively alike except in walking and bus usage. In rural and mixed schools buses are used by a large number of pupils, however this is instead of walking and does not reduce the percentage travelling in by car.
