Walk to School Month

Walk to School Month is a national awareness raising month held in October every year where schools across the world join forces to promote walking to school. Because it is in October at the beginning of the academic year, it is the perfect time to start new travel habits or try something new. Find out why here.

It runs over a whole month means you can take part whenever suits you. We produce resources to make it easier for you to promote and run activities.


Important changes to resources


The Walk to School campaign has traditionally produced themed resources for Walk to School Month in October.

However, many schools and local authorities have told us they want to run events throughout the year. This is why we are now going to be selling a range of undated, unthemed Walk to School materials in addition to our themed Walk to School Week resources in May.

These new resources are designed to provide general positive messages and information around walking to school – they can be used at any time of year, for any length of time.

Ordering for 2010
You will be able to view and order our brand new resources from July 2010.

Walk To School Month 2009


In 2009, the theme was 'Count me in'. The focus was on measuring physical activity and demonstrating how easy it is to reach the recommended daily hour of moderate physical activity if you walk to school.
