Walk to School Week!

May 2025

Next week is walk to school week - Our five-day walking challenge begins next Monday 19 to 23 May 2025, many schools across the UK will also take part in the annual walking celebration.

 The fun and engaging week-long activity has been built to make pupils experience first-hand, the importance of walking to school. During Walk to School Week, please encourage your child to use active modes of transport to get to school. This can be walking, cycling, scooting or parking and striding. Parking even a little way from the school reduces congestion and air pollution at the school gates and improves road safety.

Through this challenge, children will be on their way to reaching their recommended 60 minutes minimum of physical activity per day before even reaching the school gates! 

Not only is it good for physical and mental health, but it is also good for the environment.
