Walk Safely to School Day

Now in its 26th year, National Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual campaign and event that encourages all primary school children, their parents, and carers to walk safely and regularly to school. This year, it will take place on Friday 16th of May.

It's essential for children and young people to engage in physical activity every day. Walking to school is an excellent way to incorporate this into their daily routines, promoting healthy development. Regular physical activity, particularly walking, can enhance self-esteem and confidence, improve concentration, and boost overall fitness. By encouraging kids to be active each day, we help them establish lasting healthy habits.
