Good reasons to walk to school

Now the winter months are coming, you may be quick to jump in the car for your journey to school, especially if the weather is cold or wet!

BUT

We would like you to stop and think before you use the car to get to school!

With over 290 children at the school, if we were all driven to school there would be a LOT of cars outside in the morning and evening. We are aiming to reduce that number and ease parking problems outside of school. We can do this by:

· Walking to school

· Cycling to school

· Driving part of the way to school and walking part of the way

A study recently undertaken by the California Department of Education shows a direct link between academic achievement and the physical fitness of school pupils. Nine in ten teachers in a recent Department for Transport survey consider that the walk to school makes children brighter, more alert and ready for the first class of the day.
