Active Travel
Research shows that active travel to school makes children more alert and ready to face the school day than if they had arrived in a car: walking, cycling or scooting to school wakes up the mind and body. There are many ways to support and encourage children and their families to think about making their journey to school more active. Below are some resources that can help.
