Pupils were delighted at receiving road safety goods to help them feel better about walking to school.

All of the 640 pupils at Edgware Primary School took part in the recent National Walk to School Week campaign.

Staff at the Broadwalk Centre in Edgware, students with 50 high-visibility vests as part of the Walk to School Week initiative.

The initiative is run by the UK’s charity for everyday walking, Living Streets, to help increase the number of children walking to school.

Angela Brooks, manager of The Broadwalk Centre, said: “We live in a society where driving a car or jumping onto public transport is so easy, especially as we are based in a London borough, so this was a great opportunity to help keep local children in our community active and reduce the town’s pollution.”

The school was also given KS1 and KS2 packs, which contained a classroom wall chart, teacher and pupil wall chart stickers, pupil activity diaries, pupil rewards magnets and teacher instructions.
