Secondary Schools

Living Streets has produced a number of campaigns to get young people of secondary school age walking more on their school journeys. Currently, only 40 per cent of secondary school students walk to school. We aim to get more young people walking.


Secondary school students make their own decisions about how to get to school. We offer a range of communication messages and initiatives aimed at young people themselves, based on what we know about their values and motivations. In the last three years, we've reached over 300,000 secondary school students through the Walk to School campaign.

  • Video Project - The Video Project is an online platform for short films about walking to school, made by young filmmakers. A free, downloadable resource pack contains everything young people need to know about making and sharing films.
