What is WoW?
WoW is a simple scheme that enables schools and local authorities to promote walking to school throughout the entire school year. Children get badges when they walk at least once a week for a month.
Walking to school is great for children’s health. It relieves traffic congestion and it is good for the environment!
Does it work?Every London Borough is now taking part in Walk on Wednesdays (WoW) and 300,000 pupils take part nationally. Evidence suggests that implementing the scheme leads to a significant number of children changing the way they get to school, from being dropped off in the car to walking.
