Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2024, which runs from Monday 11 to Friday 22 March, is celebrating its 15th year where pupils across the UK leave their cars at home and walk, wheel, scoot and cycle to school.
An active journey to school is a healthy alternative to car journeys and it has been proven to improve students’ behaviour and concentration. Not to mention the safety and parking issues at the school gate. Active journeys like walking and cycling are great ways for kids to stay active, which is good for children’s physical and mental health.
The challenge is sponsored by Schwalbe Tyres UK and schools can sign up for free.
