Ashgrove Primary is taking part in the Active School Travel Programme, Sustains which is funded by the Department of Infrastructure and the Public Health Agency. The aim of the programme is to increase the number of children who regularly walk, cycle or scoot to school. Benefits of more active travel include:
increased physical activity levels resulting in improved health and well-being
reduced congestion and pollution around schools
improved academic performance and attendance rates
increased road safety awareness
increased confidence, self-esteem and independence for young people
