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 last year, a further 12 schools in Hull have signed up to the challenge, including -
- Broadacre Primary
- Buckingham Primary Academy
- Estcourt Primary
- Ings Primary
- Longhill Primary
- Newington Academy
- Southcoates Primary Academy
- St Nicholas Primary
- Stepney Primary
- Thorepark Academy
- Mountbatten Primary
- Bricknell Primary.
