Walk Safely to School Day Friday 7 May

Walk Safely to School Day is an annual national event when all Primary school children are encouraged to walk and ride safely to school. The event promotes safe pedestrian and cycling behaviour and the associated health and environmental benefits.

Walking and riding all or part of the way to school is an easy, free and sustainable habit for children to develop. Healthy and active children live and learn better and grow up to be healthier and more active adults.

We hope that all Ashby students will participate by using leg and bike power to come to school on the day. The Active Travel Committee will be handing out stickers to those who use active travel and conducting the May Hands Up survey on the day so we are expecting an impressive result!
