Benefits of walking to school

10/9/2019

Health
A brisk walk to school can help children get their daily exercise and arrive at school or home, refreshed and energised.

Social
Walking can have a positive effect on a child’s emotional wellbeing. It can encourage independence, road sense and also be an opportunity to chat with friends.
Environmental
The average drive to school and back releases 800g of CO2 into the air – enough to inflate over 60 balloons.
Economical
Encouraging your child to walk to school will save you money on transport fares or petrol money

Exercise is a great start to your childs day!
