The aim was to raise awareness of air pollution and the health benefits of walking to school. They also reminded parents about safe driving/parking and not to park on zig-zag lines when dropping off and picking up their children.

The teams engaged with pupils and parents at drop-off and pick-up times and gave out leaflets highlighting the benefits of walking to school, where possible, and walking more in general. The campaign was deemed a great success and another week is planned later in the year.
