Hands Up Scotland Survey 2023

St John’s took part in the HUSS (Hands Up Scotland Survey) this week. This is an annual survey across Scotland to establish how children normally get to school. We submitted 362 responses across our nursery and primary school setting.

In St John’s we will continue to promote Active travel by using the WOW travel tracker tool in classes, children who walk, scoot, cycle or park and stride to school can earn a monthly badge for their efforts.

As always, we would encourage everyone who can, to travel actively to school, it supports physical and emotional health, helps with local pollution and helps alleviate parking issues around the school.

Active Travel Update March 2022

This month we issue 231 badges to children for active travel to and from school which is a slight rise from last month. As the weather improves and daylight lengthens we hope to have even more children qualify for an Active Travel badge in April and May.

To qualify for a badge, children must travel to school actively three times a week during the month. Active travel includes scooting, cycling, park and stride, walking or skating to school. It may even be if parents and children choose to park two or three streets away and walk the final stretch to school.

If we can all make the effort to park away from the school we can make the roads around our school safer for everyone!
