What is a Let's Walk Together Event?

How does it work?

A Let’s Walk Together Event (LWTE) is a one off event which allows parents and children to walk together along a predetermined route to school with other parents and staff members.

It can be used to raise awareness of Park and Stride or to give them an opportunity to experience how a Walking Bus might operate. On arrival at school, parents are encouraged to attend a coffee morning where Walking Bus / Park and Stride initiatives can be promoted and discussed.

What are the benefits?

• It helps to promote other initiatives e.g. Park and Stride locations or a walking bus
• It familiarises parents and pupils with the local environment
• It enables pupils to interact with one another on the journey to school
• It helps to develop pedestrian and road safety awareness
