20 Minute Movement and the ‘Walk to School Week’

Walk to school week, which was an integral part of the 20 Minute Movement campaign in May, was a great success with 34 primary schools in the district taking part.

We asked parents, and carers where possible to take an active way of travel to school every day. We also asked parents, and carers that usually drive their children to school, who can’t walk the whole journey for a variety of reasons, to consider joining in by parking a little further away and maybe walking at least some of the way.

Walking, cycling and scooting to school are great ways for children to start the day and energises them ready for a day at school.

Watch this short film to see some of the benefits yourself, and become inspired to take a more active way of travel to school!
