Step Up: Schools

Step Up aims to motivate your students to walk for all or part of their school journey, and will give pupils a reason to take an interest in the area around their school, as well as the tools they need to campaign for improvements.

The benefits for schools of taking part in Step Up are obvious. You'll gain:

• Healthier students, mentally alert and full of energy
• A student body full of active citizens, engaged with their local area and neighbours
• A boost to your school travel planning process
• A cleaner, safer, friendlier and more sustainable environment around your school

We are acutely aware that as a school, you are bombarded with different initiatives, agendas, frameworks and campaigns to take part in. In the face of all those offers, it must be easy to retreat back into the curriculum, so we've designed Step Up to help you bring the curriculum to life.

Step Up should also fit with, and complement, the work you are doing in these areas too:
