Active Travel Month

Walk, cycle or scoot to School!

Active Travel Month aims to increase the number of children travelling to school by walking, cycling and scooting.

Actively travelling to school has many benefits for your child: it helps keep them fit and healthy, can increase concentration levels in class, helps to develop road safety skills and is fun. Reducing the number of cars around the school will also help to make the area quieter, safer and less congested.

During October classes can use their active travel wall chart to record how pupils are travelling to school during the month.

Space to include information about the activities your school are taking part in e.g. National Walk to School Week,

If you aren't able to travel actively all the way from home you can still take part by parking a distance from the school (e.g. 10 minutes away) and walking, cycling or scooting the rest. Please make sure your child's bike and scooter is safe to ride to school and you park in a safe and appropriate place.

Did you know that your school could log their ACTIVE TRAVEL with Daily Boost and your pupils can earn Boost Bands to reward their individual achievements?

If you are not already registered with Daily Boost you can do that HERE and then you are ready to receive our FREE*resources

Log your minutes using the ACTIVE TRAVEL wallchart and we can do the rest.

Daily Boost encourages All pupils to do 15 minutes of ANY activity at any time of the day, so this could be your ACTIVE TRAVEL or if you wanted to offer an alternative for those pupils that are unable to walk, cycle or scoot to school.
