Springfield Primary School

Published: 23 June 2025

A School Streets Scheme was introduced at Springfield Primary School, Tilehurst, from Monday 2 June. This means vehicles are restricted during school drop-off and pick-up times in order to improve safety, reduce congestion, and improve air quality.

During term time, local roads including Barton Road, Woodbridge Road, Highbury Road, and Jenner Walk have restricted access for vehicles on Monday to Friday as follows:

• morning: 8:15-9:15am
• afternoon: 2:30-3:30pm

The scheme will be reviewed six to nine months after it started, and it’s important that people share their experiences, how the scheme affects them, whether it is working, and any suggestion for improvements. There is feedback survey on West Berkshire Council’s web site. It should take around five minutes to complete, and all surveys must be returned by Tuesday 2 December 2025.

The scheme has been implemented at two other schools in West Berkshire, including Calcot Infant and Junior School, and encourages walking, cycling, and scooting to school.
