Walk To School Week

Walk To School Week

by Luan K

National Walk to School Week took place this year from Monday, September 19th - 23rd, 2022. It is an initiative to encourage everyone to walk to school or to Park and Stride*.
6th Class students surveyed parents and teachers to gather information on their thoughts on the initiative and ways to encourage them to leave their cars at home.

The initiative was a huge success with many pupils and parents choosing to walk to school! Out of 100 parents, teachers and students surveyed 51% walked the entire journey, whilst 33% took the park and stride option with many others cycling or scooting. An impressive 100% of those surveyed agreed to support a Walk On Wednesday initiative going forward.

Below are some images from what was a hugely enjoyable WOW day (Walk On Wednesday) during our Walk To School week.

*Park and Stride: Park your car at a designated location and walk the rest of the way to your destination.
