How will you encourage parents to walk their children to school?

Headteacher Karen Edwards has experience of promoting walking to school.  At her former school in Henley, she carried out some heavy campaigning to get a crossing installed, as well as promoting alternatives such as parents joining together, walking buses and arranging for cars to be parked further away from the school. There are all sorts of things that can be set up but there needs to be some creativity and for the community to work together.

We appreciate that the location of our temporary site makes it very unlikely that children from the north of our catchment will be able to walk to school.  However, our permanent site, on Upper Warren Avenue is within walking distance of around two thirds of the catchment area.
