Walk to School Week in Sixth Class

11th Jan, 2026

As part of Walk to School Week, the whole school recently took part in a walk to school from Ardkeen. This simple but powerful action encouraged pupils to reflect on how everyday choices—such as how we travel—can have a positive impact on our planet.

The walk also supports our work towards achieving our Green Schools flag, with a particular focus on being mindful of the environmental impact of transport. Pupils discussed ways we can reduce our carbon footprint and make more sustainable choices.

We hope this initiative will inspire families to consider walking to school where possible, helping to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and promote healthy, active lifestyles. Well done to all involved for taking meaningful steps towards a greener future!
