Helping children walk and wheel to school
More and more children are opting to walk and wheel to school in Hull, following the launch of WOW - the walk to school challenge from UK charity Living Streets, in autumn 2024, and now even more schools across the city can take part thanks to further funding from Active Travel England.
WOW sees pupils record how they get to school using the interactive WOW Travel Tracker, with those who walk, wheel, cycle, scoot or ‘Park and Stride’ to school being awarded a monthly WOW badge.
Since launching at Chiltern Primary School during International Walk to School Month, in October 2024, a further 16 schools in Hull have signed up to the challenge, including -
- Stepney Primary School
- Thorepark Academy
- Bricknell Primary School
- Neasden Primary School
- Broadacre Primary School
- Buckingham Primary Academy
- Ings Primary School
- Mountbatten Primary School
- Southcoates Primary Academy
- Longhill Primary School
- St Nicholas Primary School
- Estcourt Primary School
- Paisley Primary School
- Bude Park Primary School
- Bellfield Primary School
- Kingswood Parks Primary School (launching in September 2026).
