Why Walk or Bike to School?

Walking or biking to school is well worth it! Here are just some of the reasons:

= SAFETY TRAINING
Walking or biking regularly with a child from a young age enables them to develop life skills; preparing children with road safety and personal awareness skills.

= CONGESTION reduction
Fewer cars on our roads is good for the environment and local communities; fewer cars at the school gate can make it safer for pupils making their way to and from school.

= HEALTH benefits
Walking or biking to and from school allows adults and children to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines.

= ON the ball at school
Pupils who walk or bike to school arrive wide-awake and are therefore more prepared for the school day ahead.

= OUR fun and friendship
Friends and family can walk or bike to and from school together and enjoy some quality time.

= LEARNING for life
Walking and biking regularly enables a child to become more familiar with their surroundings and provides them with the opportunity to learn about the weather and changing seasons first hand.
