Ochiltree Primary School will be joining in with the 15th year celebration of the UK’s biggest inter-school walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling to school competition.
What is Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel?
Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.
On each day of the challenge, schools compete to see who can get the highest percentage of their pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.
The school’s best five days will determine our final position.
Join us by walking or rolling to school and let’s see how many active journeys our pupils can make?

Can an Hour change the world?
Just 60 minutes? Yes, just one hour. It may not seem like much, but the magic happens when you, and those like you in Asia and Africa, North and South America, Oceania and Europe – supporters in over 190 countries and territories – all give an hour, creating the Biggest Hour for Earth.
By doing so, this Hour can shine an unmissable global spotlight on nature loss and climate change, and the need to work together to secure a brighter future for people and the planet.
Give an Hour for Earth by spending 60 minutes doing something – anything – positive for our planet.
