Active travel

Walking Bus

We run Parent-Led Walking Buses every Friday morning to help more families enjoy a healthy, fun, and safe walk to school.

How It Works

  • Parent volunteers wearing high-viz jackets will be at each location to greet families.

  • If you usually drive, you can park near one of the meeting points and walk the final stretch with us.

  • Parents and carers must accompany their children on the Walking Bus.

Why Join the Walking Bus?

  • Cleaner air: Fewer cars around school means less pollution.

  • Healthy start: Walking is a great daily exercise for children and adults.

  • Safer streets: Reduced traffic keeps everyone safer.

  • Community fun: A chance to chat and start the day together.

Bike Train

Join Our Wednesday Bike Train!

Every Wednesday morning we cycle to school together.

Families meet at 8:20 am at the junction of Brantingham Rd and Alness Rd.

It’s a fun, safe, and healthy way for children and parents to travel—building fitness, friendships, and cleaner air.
