Tonacliffe Primary School's Walk to School Initiative: Boosting Children's Physical Activity

In December 2012, Tonacliffe Primary School launched its Walk to School Initiative to encourage physical activity among students. Before the initiative, only 31.5% of children walked to school. After implementing the initiative with engaging prizes, walking rates soared to 69.2% by the end of the summer term—an impressive increase of nearly 38%! Students reported enjoying the exercise, increased social interactions, and a safer school environment with reduced car traffic. Winners of the initiative's prizes included sports vouchers and bags.

When the initiative was put in place, children were encouraged to walk to school through winning prizes. At the end of the summer term 69.2% of children walked to school. This meant that the amount of children walking to school improved by nearly 38% and physical activity at Tonacliffe improved! Well done everyone! Mrs Sutcliffe

KS1 “It makes us healthy!” “It is good exercise” “I see my friends so I like it.” “I live far away so I parked at the bottom of the hill and walked up.” KS2 “It will be safer at school if lots of people carry on walking because there will be less cars, and less pollution” “Walking up the hill was hard and I could feel my heart beating! That shows it is good exercise!” What Children Said About Walking To School:
