"We are delighted with the response to our National SOW week. We have had a big increase in the number of people walking, cycling, scooting and doing park & ride/walk coming to school, which is fantastic for the environment and also for reducing the amount of traffic on our roads.
Out of 196 students attending school, 66 either walked, cycled or scooted on Monday - 34% of our population; 88 on Tuesday - 45%; 105 on Wednesday - 52%; giving a total of 259 students over the three days so far this week.
A big 'thank you' to all of those who have made the effort. We hope that the walking, cycling, scooting or park & ride/walk to school will continue on after our Easter Holidays, with the safety of everyone at the forefront".
