You may have your own plans for Walk to School Week but if not, here are some great ideas!

Some suggestions for Walk to School Week activities:
·Younger pupils walking to school with parents/ guardians or other responsible adult
·Pupils walking to school with older brother or sister
·Older pupils walking to school by themselves or with friends
·Pupils, parents and teachers walking to a specific point and back again e.g. a local landmark or town square
·Pupils walking around the grounds of the school e.g. laps of the playground at break time
·Pupils walking along with teachers and parents and younger children to a local park area
·Walking competitions in the playground or local park between teachers and pupils
·Pupils walking to their local swimming pool, library or nearby sports ground (if applicable) instead of taking the school bus
Organised event suggestions
·School can organise a Walk to School day in fancy dress.
·School can organise a sponsored Walk to School event for charity.
·School can organise a Walk to School non-uniform day
·Pupils who walk to school get off homework.
·School can organise a health and physical activity week
