Travel for Life Accreditations 2025
This year has marked another remarkable chapter for Enfield’s TfL’s Travel for Life programme, with Enfield schools leading the way in sustainable, active, and safe travel.
Over 60 schools across the Borough are now accredited, representing 57% of all local schools — a testament to the dedication of teachers, pupils, and the wider school community. The 2025 accreditations saw a significant rise in Gold-level accreditations, with 48 schools attaining this highest standard — a 14% increase on last year. Meanwhile, the programme continues to support schools at every stage, guiding them from Bronze to Silver and onward to Gold, fostering a culture of active travel that benefits children, families, and the environment alike.
Travel for Life is more than an accreditation. It’s an initiative that inspires young Londoners to walk, cycle, and wheel to school, while embedding safety, responsibility, and sustainability into everyday journeys. Participating schools make tangible contributions to reducing traffic congestion at the school gates, improving air quality, raising awareness of road safety, and nurturing healthier, more active communities.
Insights from this year’s programme show an encouraging trend: Gold accreditations have risen sharply, while Silver and Bronze levels have slightly declined as schools progress upwards. Overall engagement remains high, with the number of accredited schools increasing by ten, reflecting the commitment of schools across the borough to enable students to travel actively and ensure their safety on their local journeys.
As Enfield schools continue to embrace Travel for Life, Enfield sets a shining example of how communities can come together to champion active, responsible, and sustainable travel. The journey may start at the school gate, but its benefits extend far beyond into cleaner air, healthier children, and a more connected community.
