WOW is a pupil-led initiative where children self-report how they get to school every day using the interactive WOW Travel Tracker. If they travel sustainably (walk, cycle or scoot) once a week for a month, they get rewarded with a badge. It’s that easy!
This year’s WOW theme is WALK FOR THE WORLD (except for the first two badges which we are carrying forward from last year’s theme (Wonders Of The World) due to lockdown).

Here are 2 great reasons we are taking part in the challenge:
REDUCES CONGESTION
1 in 4 cars on the road each morning is on the school run.
INCREASES WALKING RATES
Children at participating schools increase by 23% in the first five weeks.
We are very pleased to announce that the school has been rated as Good in all areas in our June 2019 OFSTED inspection. We are incredibly proud of the work from every member of the Myrtle Park team over the last 2 years who have played a vital part in the schools success and the outcomes for your children.
Just some of the highlights from the report are:

Our School Council has run a fantastic campaign which was such a success it made the Telegraph & Argus last week. Idling produces dangerous emissions which has been linked to various health issues and our children wanted to bring awareness to the community in order to reduces the high pollution levels. Well done to everyone involved and lets hope this increased awareness helps improve the air we breathe around school.
