158 Children walked at least once to or from school. Well done St Kentigern's Children!

 Monday 17th May is the start of WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK 2021

This years theme: WALKING SUPERPOWERS

This year’s challenge will focus on the walking superpowers that benefit individuals, communities and the planet.

Each day pupils will be introduced to a brand new ‘Walking Superpower’

Aim to walk to or from school every day to gain a walking badge.

Why are we doing this?

Walking has so many benefits from physical to mental wellbeing; aiding concentration and creativity and creating safer, less polluted and more welcoming streets. All that makes for a happy, healthy child set up for success in and out of the classroom.

We focused on plastic pollution.
