Our week-long celebration of the walk to school will take place 20-24 May 2024! Through this challenge, children will be well on their way to reaching their recommended 60 minutes minimum of physical activity per day before even reaching the school gates! Last year, over 750 schools across the UK took part! Help us make 2024 the biggest year yet!
What is Walk to School Week?
Our five-day walking challenge is an annual celebration of the walk to school and the perfect activity to celebrate National Walking Month this May.
Happier Children
It’s been proven that children who do some form of exercise, especially a walk before school, do better in class because they arrive refreshed, fit and ready to learn.
Less Congestion
During morning peak traffic times, one in five cars on the road are taking children school, contributing to congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions.
Cleaner air
The school run alone is responsible for generating half a million tonnes of CO2 per year (which is more than some small countries!). Imagine what we could achieve if we began converting some of these rides to strides?
