Walking
Most schools in the borough have excellent walking links with formal crossing points on key routes.
You can also benefit by registering with the Eco Rewards scheme if you are walking to and from school.
Cycling
In Bracknell Forest we are lucky to have a network of safe, traffic free cycling routes that connect much of the borough. Plan your journey to school using our cycle route map.
‘Bikeability’ cycle training is offered to primary school children and is arranged by each school.
