Walk to School Week 16th-19th May

Walk to School Week 16th-19th May

Next week is Walk to School week and we want as many pupils as possible to walk to school. If you have to drive or get the bus to school, you could park further away and walk or get off the bus a few stops before your normal bus stop. The walk to school is the perfect opportunity for some quality family time or a good chat with friends which will help develop strong and happy relationships. There are also numerous health benefits of walking to school too!

Happy Shoesday!

On Tuesday 17th May, we are challenging you to wear fabulously decorated shoes to celebrate walking. You could decorate shoes in any creative way possible, including: adding stickers, tinsel, coloured laces and ribbon, or anything else you can think of! Our JTAs will be selecting the best decorated shoes and their owners will receive a prize.
