Abacus parents and staff promoted and took part in a demonstration walking bus on a Saturday in the catchment area of the school to the permanent site. This showed the local community and businesses that the "commute" for young children on foot was between 12 and 18 minutes. It was part of the planning application to demonstrate again that we will continue to be a car free school in our permanent home. Newsletters, messages and emails were sent amongst parents and carers and staff in the school promoting this.
