Get your happy feet on, it’s time to celebrate.

Our five-day walking challenge aimed at primary schools is a fun and engaging week-long activity, raising awareness and celebrating walking for all.

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

🍎 Mr Wadlow at @ElmAcademyAAT made a promise to his class that he'd run to school to kick off #WalktoSchoolWeek - what a hero! Leading by example ⭐️#WorldTeachersDay #MondayMotivation pic.twitter.com/ABsQilCvst
It’s #WalktoSchoolWeek and we were up and out early to get to breakfast club. Olivia struggled to choose only three things that made her happy on her walk this morning @Mount_Carmel1 @livingstreets #innercitycommute pic.twitter.com/wjxRRokYvn

Walk to School Week 2020 - watch our videos
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."
MISSED THE CELEBRATION but DON'T WANT TO WAIT until NEXT YEAR?
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.
