Do you want to encourage your pupils to cycle to school more often, get healthier, reduce the amount of traffic outside your school at key times and protect the environment? If so, then get involved with Cycle to School Week!

They asked everyone to make a pledge to cycle more during the week, and beyond. Thanks to the pupils, parents, schools and staff who pledged and made the 2024 event a record breaking Cycle to School Week.
