• Sustrans BIG WALK and WHEELS

  Mon 20 Mar 2023

  Get set… we’re taking part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2023 the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 20-31 March. 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.

  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!
