Detailed description (English): For the entire academic year 2021-2022, we are asking all of our families to make active journeys to school as often as possible. We have nominated Wednesday as weekly challenge and commitment to encourage walking, wheeling, scooting or cycling to school as green, sustainable travel choices. Where families are unable to participate fully due to needing the use of a car or public transport, we are encouraging them to 'park and stride' or 'hop off and walk' 10 minutes away from our school site.
Target group(s): Pupils
Parents
School staff
Local residents
Objectives: We aim to:
-critically, minimise the risk of accidents to pupils;
-help pupils to acquire the necessary skills to be streetwise;
-support pupils to lead a healthier lifestyle;
-reduce car use amongst our school community;
-ease traffic congestion in local roads; and
-improve air quality for our school community and local residents.
