BIKE TO SCHOOL WEEK – 12th–16th October! Our West Craven High School Eco Team is launching our Bike to School Week, encouraging students to bike, walk or scoot to school wherever possible! There are lots of benefits to leaving the car at home: Stay fit and healthy Help reduce our impact on the environment Reduce traffic around school Save money on travel Build confidence and independence Support positive mood and wellbeing Arrive at school feeling awake, refreshed and ready to learn! This project has been led and promoted by our fantastic Eco Team, and we're also excited to have recently secured funding to develop and improve our bike shed outside school. We'll be getting started on this project shortly! How can families support? If you can, please encourage your child to come to school without using the car during 12th–16th October. If you live too far away to walk, cycle or scoot the whole journey, why not park or drop off part-way and let your child complete the rest of the journey on foot, by bike or scooter? We're also looking for donations of bike helmets and bike locks to help our students cycle safely and make the most of this project. If you have any suitable items you no longer need, please drop them off at school reception. Let's see how many journeys we can make without the car and get West Craven moving! Thank you for supporting our Eco Team and helping us make a positive difference to our school and environment.
