Active School Travel

Walking – it’s the easiest way to travel!

Walking is the easiest way to actively travel. All you need are shoes! Why walking to school is good for our kids:

• Higher academic performance in class in terms of attention and alertness
• Developing a sense of independent decision making
• Extra physical activity in the day
• Physical activity helps reduce levels of stress, depression and anxiety
• They learn essential road safety skills
• Forming active behaviours likely to continue later in life

If you live too far away to walk from home, try Park & Stride. Check out our active travel map to see where you can park away from the school and walk the rest of the way. Active School Travel is one of the easiest ways to incorporate physical activity into everyday life for all children. 

Join us on Fridays and actively travel to school. Your body and brain will love it!
