In addition to completing our daily WOW travel trackers, we will be participating in the Walk to School Week challenge again during Health Week beginning Monday 20th May. This nationwide event is organised by walking charity Living Streets and is designed to help pupils create healthy habits for life and to help schools in reducing congestion and pollution around the school gates.

This year’s challenge, The Magic of Walking, encourages children to travel actively to school every day of the week. This could be walking/wheeling, cycling, scooting, skating or parking further away from school and walking the remainder of the journey (Park & Stride). Meeting various magical beings along the way, they’ll learn about the important reasons to walk and the difference it can make for individuals, communities and the planet. Each class will work collectively to make as many active journeys to school as possible across the week. Individual activity diaries, daily stickers and end of week pupil rewards will complement this activity, reinforcing the benefits and keeping children engaged.

Thank you for all your support in helping to keep our pupils active and healthy, and also for helping to reduce the traffic and pollution around our school 🤩
