October is International Walk to School Month, when pupils around the globe celebrate the joys of walking and wheeling to school. In Northumberland we celebrate with 4 themed weeks of activities that schools can use as a base to plan their month and take part in as much or as little as they are able.
You can find out more on our dedicated Walk to School Month Padlet
If your school would like to take part in October 2026, please let us know by completing this form where you can request resources to run a 5-Day Walking Challenge.
This year’s challenge will see pupils embark on a special operation – codename Mission Move, to complete the five-day walking challenge. On the way, pupils will meet fun and friendly secret agents as they explore the benefits of walking or wheeling to school.
