“Achievement through hard work; strength through kindness.” Angel Oak Academy is named after
the oak tree on Peckham Rye in which artist and poet WILLIAM BLAKE saw his first vision in 1765
– ‘A tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars.’ For the
academy, it references the academic and creative roots of the local area and community whilst
symbolising a protective environment in which children grow, flourish and sparkle.

ANGEL OAK ACADEMY TRAVEL PLAN
The School Travel Plan analyses how children travel to and from school, another important
feature of the School Travel Plan is that it offers schools the opportunity to highlight any road
safety concerns members of staff or pupils may have.

School Travel Plan
Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL)
The public transport accessibility level (PTAL) is a method used in United Kingdom
transport planning to assess the access level of geographical areas to public
transport.
PTAL is a simple, easily calculated approach that hinges on the distance from any
point to the nearest public transport stop, and service frequency at those stops.
The result is a grade from 1–6 (including sub-divisions 1a, 1b, 6a and 6b), where a
PTAL of 1a indicates extremely poor access to the location by public transport, and a
PTAL of 6b indicates excellent access by public transport.

sustainable
modes of

The Final Report of the London Borough of Southwark Cycle Demand Study
states that there are numerous radial routes leading into the north of the Borough
which should be prioritised for implementation, and in addition, there are three orbital
corridors, one to the north, one centred on Burgess Park and the other on Peckham
Road which should be implemented.
Taken together, this network of radial and circumferential corridors will provide a
network of routes for cycle traffic which will allow for significant future expansion of
cycling within the London Borough of Southwark.

School Travel Plan
Action Plan
This is a section detailing the measures and initiatives an individual school will adopt
to reduce car journeys, increase active and sustainable transport and improve safety
for school journey. These can include walking, cycling and public transport initiatives
as well as engineering and education programmes.
If a plan is to be successful it must be supported by the whole school community, ie
