The event was organised to mark the school’s support of two initiatives.
The school is currently working towards achieving the Rights Respecting Schools Bronze Award, with part of the focus highlighting children's right to health, nutritious food, clean water and a safe environment.
May 11-15 also marks Mental Health Awareness Week and to support both themes, the school organised a ‘Walk, Cycle or Scoot to School’ initiative encouraging pupils, staff, and families to stay active.
On Tuesday, May 12, an impressive 245 children, staff, and parents took part in a special ‘walking bus’ event.
Participants gathered at the school at 8.25am before setting off on a 10-minute route, collecting pupils at three designated points along the way.
The event ended on a high note as everyone returned to school to be greeted by special visitor, Winnie the Pooh.
