Walk to School Week 2012 will take place between 21-25 May, and we anticipate this year to be our biggest yet. The event is part of national charity Living Streets' Great British Walking Challenge, taking place throughout May - when thousands of people will be walking to school, work, or around their neighbourhoods.

Last year over 1 million children in over 4000 schools ditched the school run as part of Walk to School Week. This year, we are challenging classrooms to embark upon a virtual journey from Lands End to John O'Groats as Strider's Walking Challenge.

Everyone can help bring the week to life in the classroom, with the help of our free assembly and lesson plan resources, created especially for Walk to School Week 2012. These are all linked to the theme of Strider's Walking Challenge - lots of small steps can make a big difference!

We also offer resources to help parents, children, schools and local authorities to run fun events and activities to raise awareness about walking to school, and this year we have a fantastic range of resources based around Strider's Walking Challenge, where classrooms can embark upon a virtual journey from Lands End to John O'Groats across Walk to School Week. The guaranteed deadline for ordering resources has now passed but limited stocks are still available. If you would like to order, please contact us on 020 7377 4900, or email us.
