Travel Plan

School Travel Plan: Promoting sustainable travel and safer routes to school

W/C 28th March 2022. 

This week we are encouraging the children to take part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2022. The UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 21 March to 1 April. It’s free and we would love everyone to be involved.

What do you need to do?

Encourage your child(ren) to walk, use a wheelchair, scoot or cycle to school on as many days as possible during the event.

Remember the Amazing Me non-uniform day and £1 donation on Friday 1 April 2022 (more details below).

 

Including everyone

We want to make sure that everyone can get involved in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel.

We know there may be things which make it more difficult for some pupils to take part than others. If you want to discuss more about your child(ren)’s specific needs, please contact Miss Burrows or Miss Bracher and we will do our best to help.

 

Why we are taking part

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is a great way to build physical activity in children’s daily routine which is important for their physical health and mental wellbeing.

Active school runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gate. A 2021 YouGov study showed nearly half of UK children worry about air pollution near their school. And that children thought active travel was the best away to bring down these pollution levels.

Plus there are some great prizes to be won every day if we get enough children taking part!

 

Amazing Me Fundraising Day

On Friday 1 April 2022 we’d love our pupils to wear non-uniform. We will also be fundraising for our schools active travel project so please bring in a £1 donation.

We want to celebrate how amazing the children have been- taking part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel and learning about the amazing benefits of active travel.
