#CycleToSchoolWeek
Cycle to School Week is taking place from 25 to 29 September 2023.
Cycle to School Week is a week-long event where families are encouraged to try cycling and scooting to school. Cycle to School Week Teacher Resources – Sustrans.org.uk
It’s a great way to celebrate the huge benefits an active school run brings including the positive impact it has on children’s health and wellbeing, on local air quality, and on carbon emissions.
We’ve compiled some great resources for children and young people to get cycling as well as inclusive cycling so that everyone can get involved.
Locally
