Background
In May 2024 and July 2024 Croydon Council conducted informal consultations on the introduction of 7 new Healthy School Streets. Croydon already has 35 Permanent Healthy School Street schemes in place, the first of which, was introduced in 2017.
The schools being considered are:
Healthy School Street | Scheme Reference |
Applegarth Academy, New Addington, CR0 9DL | APPLEGARTH/HSS2024 |
Beulah Infant and Nursery School, Furze Road, Thornton Heath, CR7 8NJ | BEULAH/HSS2024 |

Harris Primary Academy Purley Way, Croydon, CR0 4FE | HARRISPW/HSS2024 |
What are Healthy School Streets?
Healthy School Streets help pupils to have safer, healthier journeys to and from school, by restricting the roads outside the school during school drop-off and pick-up times. In Croydon, Healthy School Streets operate between Monday – Friday 8:00am – 9:30am and 2:00pm – 4:00pm. This will not affect residents’ access – if you live in those roads, you will be able to apply for a free exemption period.

The scheme encourages parents and pupils to leave the car at home more often for the school run, and instead choose more sustainable and active means of travel, such as walking, cycling, or scooting. Healthy School Streets benefit residents by decreasing motor traffic in their neighbourhood during busy pick-up and drop-off hours – reducing congestion, noise and air pollution.
Benefits of Healthy School Streets:
- Safer school journeys for pupils
- Make it easier to choose sustainable travel like walking and cycling
- Cleaner and less polluted street
- Improve our air quality
- Encourage active travel, helping to promote healthy lifestyles
