Step into summer with Walk to School Week 👣☀️

Walk to School Week is a fantastic opportunity for children and families to enjoy the benefits of travelling to school on foot.

Taking place from Monday 18 to Friday 22 May, pupils are encouraged to leave the car at home, stretch their legs, and start each day feeling energised.

Walking to school helps build healthier habits, reduces traffic and pollution around the school gates, and gives families valuable time together in the fresh air. Whether it’s a short stroll, a park and stride or walking with friends, every step makes a difference.

Let’s make this week fun, active, and positive - lace up those shoes and join the challenge!
