Active Travel Awareness Days

Active travel plays a key role in improving pupils’ physical and mental health, tackling air pollution around school sites and supporting climate action. Embedding walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling into the school run, curriculum delivery, enrichment activities and whole‑school events helps pupils develop lifelong healthy habits while reducing congestion and road danger.

The national awareness days below offer simple opportunities for staff to link wellbeing, PSHE, PE, geography, science and eco‑work to Modeshift STARS evidence.
