Junior Travel Ambassadors (JTAs)
Our 2025-26 Junior Travel Ambassadors:
Our JTAs are elected by their peers at the beginning of every academic year. The role of our JTAs is to promote road safety and sustainable, active travel around our school and encourage children and their families in our local community to make healthier and safer choices, in and outside of school.
The JTA team are involved in a wide range of activities throughout the year including:
- Preparing and competing in the Dragon’s Den annual event where the children pitch a road safety idea to a judging panel with the opportunity of winning money to support the pitched project; we are proud to have been successful in this project for several consecutive years and have earned the money to have road safety banners made and displayed around school, which were designed by the children through a whole school competition, safer speed bumps in the staff car park, money to buy road safety books for the children’s library, money to increase the number of bike racks and even to buy some scooters for our children to learn to ride in the playground.
- Launch whole school competitions and events such as Be Bright Be Seen, Walk to School days, The Daily Mile, pedestrian training and bike competitions
- Attend regular meetings to discuss projects and share findings
- Share road safety information via the school’s blog page
Recently our team have worked with the Hillingdon's STARS team to implement a voluntary one-way system on Raynton Drive to make school pick up and drop off safer and calmer for all. This involved making banners and signs; writing to parents/carers and our local residents to launch the system and patrolling the road. They have also worked with the local authority to identify opportunities for infrastructure and safety improvements close to the school site, such as new bollards, refreshed road markings and targeted support from safer neighbourhood police teams and parking patrols. We also designed our own 20MPH sign which is now proudly displayed at the top of the school road to remind drivers to slow down. Councillor Steve Tuckwell visited recently to meet with the JTA team to see the work they have been doing and the impact it has had; we even featured in The Hillingdon People Magazine and on the council's website HERE. You can see some of this work in the galleries below.
