Saddleworth School have won two prestigious STARS School Travel Awards.
This excellent achievement follows the success in earning Modeshift STARS accreditation for outstanding efforts in promoting walking, cycling, and other forms of sustainable travel on the journey to school.
Out of all the schools across the country, Saddleworth was one of only 140 schools selected for this national honour.
The students attended a ceremony on-line on Wednesday morning alongside other nominated schools and were thrilled to win the ‘School of the Local Authority’ and ‘School of the Region’ awards.
As winners of the ‘School of the Region’ the school have been invited to represent our region at the exclusive National STARS School Travel Awardsevent in London next March.
Congratulations to all the students involved for all their hard work and to Mrs Reece, Mr Saxon and Mr Phillips for their support and dedication to active travel.
