Children and staff at Ysgol Bro Lleu take part in a Yellow Warning Day.
Sustrans is working with schools in Wales to provide children with the skills and information necessary to allow them to walk, scoot and cycle to school on a regular basis through the Active Journeys programme.
Children at the school wore yellow in order to draw attention to the fact that parents and guardians parking on the zig-zag yellow lines near the school are making the area dangerous for other drivers, pedestrians, scooter users and cyclists alike. Pupils also received cycle and scooter skills training during the day in order to increase their confidence in travelling actively to school.
Sustrans Schools Officer, Gwen Thomas, said:
“Walking, scooting, and cycling to school is a great way for our children to get the exercise they need every day to keep healthy, and research shows it allows them to become better students in the classroom. Let’s not forget it’s fun, too.”
Gerallt Jones, Head Teacher of Ysgol Bro Lleu, said:
“We’re very keen to encourage more pupils to walk, scooter and cycle to school, and we need everyone in the community to help us to create the safe conditions which will allow more and more people to feel they can leave the car at home or further from the school.
Sustrans works with schools throughout Wales thanks to funding from the Welsh Government.
