Ride and Walk to School day

St Mary’s Primary School is excited to celebrate Ride and Walk to School Day on Wednesday, 22nd October! We invite all students to get involved by walking, riding, or scooting their way to school.

This event is a fantastic opportunity to promote healthy lifestyles, environmental awareness, and physical activity. Every student who participates will earn valuable House points, making it a fun and friendly competition between Houses.

We also encourage families to take part by walking or cycling together. It’s a great way to support your children, enjoy some fresh air, and spend quality time together before the school day begins.

If you live too far to walk or ride the entire way, why not “park and stride” park a short distance from school and walk the rest of the way? This small change helps ease traffic congestion and supports safe, active travel for everyone.

Let’s make this event a great success! Encourage your children to get involved, earn House points, and experience the many benefits of walking or riding to school. We look forward to seeing everyone out and about on Wednesday, 22nd October!
