At Aughton we believe being active is extremely important for our physical and mental health. We encourage all our pupils to lead an active lifestyle including how they travel. We teach the children that switching more journeys to ‘active travel’ will improve their health and quality of life and also support the environment. These are ‘win-wins’ that will benefit individual people and our local community.

Active Travel Achievements, Events and Initiatives

We are very proud to announce that Aughton Academy have achieved Gold Awards for the 'School Games Mark' for 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25! The active travel forms part of the School Games Awards. 

Active Travel at Aughton 

We are so proud of so many pupils who walk, scooter and cycle to school. Some of our families park a little further away so they can do park and stride and we have had a new scooter shed for our children to store their modes of transport while they are in school.
