Ripon Walk to School Days

On Friday 2nd February 2024 Sharow, St. Wilfrid’s and Holy Trinity primary schools (along with many schools throughout the Harrogate area), took part in walk to school day. Lots of promotional stuff was given out at St. Wilfrid’ s.  Pete, the Lollipop Man is very popular at Trinity school and we attended a full assembly where Zero Carbon Harrogate and the PE teacher explained why we should all walk/cycle more.   North Yorkshire Council’s Sustainable Travel Officer and Spike the Road Safety Hedgehog were also in attendance.

The next Walk to School Day and Car Free Friday for the secondary schools, is Friday 15th March. This is also Red Nose Day, so schools may allow or encourage children to dress up and walk to school, we have the opportunity to promote and get involved. Then 10th May and 14th June.
