Walk to School Week
walk with us!
Get your happy feet on, it’s time to celebrate.
At Living Streets, we've created the greatest national Walk to School celebration, where pupils and grown-ups around the UK unite for one week of walking to school.
Our five-day walking challenge aimed at primary schools is a fun and engaging week-long activity, raising awareness and celebrating walking for all.
This year we invite you to join us in celebrating the incredible physical and mental health benefits walking brings to every individual.

There's no better way to end the school day than a walk, cycle or scoot home 🚶♀️🚲🛴

Walk To School Week is something we are very happy to get involved with and which the children have really enjoyed. It gives them the opportunity to do some exercise each and every day. As well as this, traffic is really heavy during term times so we will do anything to help alleviate the issue."
ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?
It's not too late to join in! If you've missed the national celebration, the good news is that our resources are undated so you can take part whenever it works for your school!
The classrooms packs and activities are built to make pupils experience first-hand the importance of walking to school.
Each pupil will be challenged to walk, cycle, scoot or park and stride to school every day for one week using our fun and interactive wallchart and stickers to log their journeys and learn about walking benefits collectively. Individual activity diaries and reward stickers will complement this activity, reinforcing the benefits and keeping children engaged.
Each pack is suitable for a class of up to 30 pupils and activities are curriculum-aligned.
Inside each pack you’ll find:
- Teacher guidance and parent information
- One classroom wallchart with stickers for teacher
- 30 pupil daily reward stickers
- 30 pupil activity diaries (KS1/P1-3 & KS2/P4-7 will have different activities to suit, around the same theme)
- 30 end of week pupil rewards
Packs cost only £10 + VAT.
