Walk to School week has become an enjoyable active travel event for pupils each year which encourages pupils to make active journeys to school. 

Pupils are encouraged to walk, scoot, cycle or at the very least park and stride to school. 

We teach our pupils about the physical and environmental benefits of active travel and our pupils have responded positively and many actually prefer walking to school than say coming by car or bus. 

Each class recorded their active journeys each day and stickers were given to pupils who had travelled sustainably. At the end of the week pupils who had travelled sustainably at least once received a WTSW badge and were very proud. 

Many pupils have since told me that they now walk to school at least 3 times a week when possible which is fantastic.
