The Pompey Monster Walk to School Challenge was initially a pilot scheme to encourage children to walk to school regularly. Following its success in a number of Portsmouth schools, we continue to offer the initiative to other schools in the city who are taking part in a School Streets trial. Stomping (walking, cycling or scooting*) to school regularly improves fitness and helps to keep school gates clear of cars, increases safety and improves air quality.
