At St Frideswides we have chosen to be part of an exciting nationwide challenge to encourage more children and their families to walk to school. WOW - the year round walk to school challenge is delivered by Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking, to help as many children as possible experience the benefits of walking to school.

WOW is a pupil led initiative where children self report in the classroom how they get to school every day. If they travel sustainably (walk, cycle or scoot) at least once a week for a month, they will be rewarded with a badge. It's that easy!

If you live too far away or don't have time to walk the whole way to school, you could park and stride to help your child earn their WOW badge. Park at least 10 minutes away from the school and walk the rest of the way.

Thousands of schools and around 1 million pupils are enjoying the benefits of walking to school across the UK.

Will you join us?

We can not wait to hand out our first lot of badges at the end of October!
