The Modeshift STARS Regional Awards showcase and celebrate the amazing Modeshift STARS journey each school is on.
Congratulations to all the schools nominated and to all of this year’s winners!
This incredible achievement highlights the dedication of each nominated school, who have earned Modeshift STARS accreditation for their outstanding efforts in promoting walking, cycling, and sustainable travel to and from school.
We’re thrilled to announce that 160 schools from Local Authorities across the country have been shortlisted for this year’s Regional STARS Awards. For the first time, we hosted a dedicated Secondary School event, celebrating 29 of the highest performing STARS schools.
The winners of the ‘School of the Region’ title will go on to proudly represent their area at the National STARS School Travel Awards in London next March.
We want the entire community to celebrate alongside these deserving nominees. Share the exciting news with your students, parents, local politicians, MPs, and the wider community – and don’t forget to tag #TeamModeshift in all your social media posts! Your commitment to promoting sustainable and active travel deserves to be celebrated, and we want to showcase these incredible efforts.
