From 21st-25th May 2018 it is Walk to School Week and many of our schools are taking part. This annual scheme is run by Living Streets, a charity that promotes walking. In 2017, 400,000 children and their families took part in the challenge. It has been proven that some exercise, especially a walk before school results in children doing better in class as they arrive refreshed, fit and ready to learn. As well as promoting the importance of being active, walking to school also provides an invaluable time to teach the importance of road safety and to help in cutting pollution and congestion.
