Over 2,000 schools and over 700,000 pupils continue to benefit from WOW - our walk to school challenge. We want to support even more pupils and are trialling the move to a digital-first platform to achieve this. Schools are continuing to take part in WOW while the Move Makers pilot takes place.

Pilot schools will receive a Move Makers resource pack and ongoing coordinator support during the trial.

Just a device with internet access and a modern web browser. The pilot version of Move Makers is optimised for tablets, but also works on laptops, interactive whiteboards and classroom tablets. The display may look slightly different on large screens, but all features work the same.

Pupils select their name from the board, then choose the travel mode they took that day. There are daily celebrations for logging, and monthly celebrations for engagement and active travel.  

Logging in the morning as pupils arrive helps them remember their travel mode and keeps the process brief.  

Teachers can use batch mode and a quick hands-up survey if time is really short.

Pupils collect points for every journey logged, so everyone can contribute to class totals. Higher points are awarded active travel modes. 

The rewards are class‑based to encourage teamwork, rather than competition between individuals 

The winning class is calculated using points per pupil (PPP). This ensures fairness for different class sizes.

There is a bespoke parent/carer portal for each school, showing points and progress for each class. Schools can generate a parent/carer letter from the dashboard, including a link/QR code to the portal.
