Walk to School Week – 2025

🚶‍♀️ Walk to School Week 2025

Small Steps. Big Impact.

Walk to School Week 2025 is taking place from May 19–23, 2025, and it’s the perfect opportunity to encourage healthier lifestyles, reduce traffic pollution, and connect children with their local environment — one step at a time.

Organised by Living Streets, this nationwide campaign empowers families, schools, and communities to swap the school run for a walk — promoting sustainable travel and active habits for life.

Why Walk to School?

• Health & Wellbeing: Walking improves mental focus, reduces stress, and builds lifelong physical activity habits.

• Cleaner Air: Fewer car journeys mean reduced emissions and safer, less polluted school zones.

• Community Engagement: Walking fosters a stronger sense of connection to your surroundings and neighbourhood.

• Climate Impact: A collective shift to walking helps lower your carbon footprint.

How to Take Part

Walk to School Week is easy to join and fun to promote:

• Schools can order resource packs with challenges, stickers, and activities.

• Parents can plan safe and scenic routes with their children.

• Local councils can support walking initiatives by improving footpaths and hosting events.

This year’s theme: “Walk with Wildlife” — highlighting the natural world children encounter on their daily walks and encouraging them to look up, listen, and explore.
