Ecclesall Primary School have been nominated Regional School of The Year Finalist 2025. This follows on from receiving an Outstanding Travel Plan for 2025.
EPS has also received a Silver Rewilding award in 2025! This is for keeping much of our outdoor areas natural!
At Ecclesall primary school we take the safety of children very seriously. Whilst Road safety is the responsibility of the council, we have been working with the Modeshift Stars Active Travel team, parking enforcement officers, local councillors, local MP, other local schools and the council to try to improve the safety of the roads in the local area.
We regularly remind parents and carers of the importance of driving and parking considerately and encourage pupils to walk, cycle or scooter to school wherever possible. We achieved Outstanding Modeshift Stars Active Travel in September 2025. This is the highest award possible! We achieved Excellent Modeshift Stars Active Travel in July 2024. We achieved GOLD Modeshift Stars Active Travel Award in July 2023 and the Platinum Award in 2022. Modeshift Active Travel aims to secure increased levels of safe, active and sustainable travel in schools.
Ecclesall Primary School ECO team are very proud that Eco Schools.org have renewed our Green Flag status again with distinction this in 2024. We are continuing to work on Transport as one of our Green Flag priorities with our active ECO team consisting of 21 pupils. We are meeting with our local councillor and Olivia Blake, MP this week to celebrate our awards and to work together to consider more ways of educating our families and the local community to increase more safe, sustainable active travel in the future.
Walking, cycling, skating, scooting and park & stride are all active ways of travelling and we hope by taking part in the Active Challenge it will:
o Improve health & wellbeing of our pupils & their families
o Encourage pupils and families to be more active
o Reduce congestion and parking problems around our school
o Promote active travel for the journey to school and for families to continue to do this after the challenge!
