Walking on Wednesday is a big success

Fri 20 Jun, 2008

We had a very positive response to our Walking On Wednesday  (WOW) initiative during Eco week and were delighted to have such a wonderful turn out of volunteers to walk with the girls.  We plan to run it again on Wednesday 2^nd July with the aim that it is continued on a weekly basis in the autumn.  We invite all those who helped before, and any others who are keen to ‘hop on the bus’ to join the staff again.  Next term we will be offering the parents the opportunity to be in charge and take it in turns to escort the girls down every week. We walk down from the Senior School tennis courts, leaving at 8:15. We walk in a ‘crocodile’ formation with high visibility jackets for the girls.   The Junior School staff are there to provide direction. WOW is making a real difference to the amount of traffic around school, helping to get heart rates going and increase our pedestrian numbers, thereby contributing to a reduction in our carbon footprint and a much healthier environment for our girls.
