St Martin's School Profiles
There are a wide range of factors that prompt parents and teachers into getting a Walking Bus started. In this section of the Walking Bus site we give each of the schemes operating in Kent an opportunity to explain why they set up a 'bus' and what lessons they can pass on to those just starting.
They detail the routes of their 'bus' to help promote their scheme.
We set up the bus to reduce road traffic & increase road awareness, as well as to improve health & safety for the children. This has been very successful.
St Martin's School Profile
Our first walking bus started in Spetember 2001 with just 10 children.
There are now 30+ children who use it.
The bus runs on Monday and Thursday mornings, starting from the Orange Tree Pub, Folkestone Road at 08.25 hours.
We walk down Folkestone Road to Church Road, into Markland Road and then left into Eaves Road to the back entrance of the school.
Our second bus started in April 2003 and we have 10 children using it at present.
We operate this bus on Tuesday mornings from the HorseTrough on Elms Vale Road and meet at 08.25 hours.
We walk along Elmes Vale Road into Church Road, across into Markland Road and in the front entrance of the school.
Both of the buses are run by parent volunteers.
