Travel to School – Parent/Carer Questionnaire The School’s Travel Planning Group is currently in the process of gathering key information in order that a detailed analysis can be obtained of current travel habits, options for alternative travel choices and concerns relating to school journeys. We therefore need your views and ask that one parent or carer from each family take approximately 5 minutes to complete our Travel to School Parent/Carer Questionnaire via the link below, by Tuesday 9 January 2018. In order that data can be measured accurately, we only require the survey to be completed by one family member. www.tcsoa.com/Information/School-Travel-Plan/ Website Contact us Twitter
