Award winning residential developer London Square teamed up with All Saints Church of England School in Fulham to take part in International Walk To School Day on 8 October.
London Square provided pupils of All Saints Church of England School with high-vis jackets, as well as educational packs, including travel diaries and fun badges to encourage them to walk to school on the day and throughout October. London Square was also on hand at designated ‘walk stops’ to greet the children on their way to school.
Walk To School Month sees primary school pupils from across the UK join forces with children in more than 40 countries worldwide to celebrate the benefits of walking to school. Despite the average distance to a pupil's primary school being just one mile, last year saw a drop of 300,000 pupils walking to school in England according to analysis of latest Government figures. Doctors recommend that children should get a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
Rebecca Littler, Sales & Marketing Director of London Square, said: “A large number of our developments are located within close proximity to schools so we are delighted to be supporting Walk To School Month this year. By offering pupils at All Saints Church of England School a helping hand, the children will be encouraged to walk to school and can stay safe. Walking to school is a great way to encourage fitness and health amongst youngsters and we are proud to be facilitating this behaviour.”
Carol Gray, Headteacher at All Saints Church of England School, which is located near to London Square Fulham on Bishops Avenue, said: "We strive to encourage children to walk to school throughout the year as we believe the benefits are invaluable to our pupils. We are very grateful for London Square’s support. It was wonderful to see so many pupils gathering together to participate in International Walk To School Day and we are confident that this enthusiasm will continue throughout the rest of Walk To School Month."
London Square Fulham is an exclusive new square of 40 townhouses, which has been designed to reflect the tradition of the capital’s most coveted architectural style. Beyond the grand gated arched entrance, the family homes are set in a traffic-free, secure garden square with underground parking. The townhouses, which range from three to five bedrooms, were inspired by the Georgian symmetry of homes in famous squares, yet offer first-class specification and the latest trends in contemporary London living, including a concierge.
