Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 20th -31st March

14th 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 20th -31st March 2023. We would love as many of our pupils to get involved. 

What do you need to do? 

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

Why are we taking part? 

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is a great way to build physical activity into our daily routine which is so important for our children's physical health and mental wellbeing.  Active school runs also help to reduce the amount of congestion and air pollution outside the school gate. 

Useful resources

To help you prepare, Sustrans has developed a handy free guide to walking, cycling or scooting to school. It is packed with advice to help you have a hassle-free journey to school.
