WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL ALONE
There are no laws around age or distance of walking to school. A families' guide to the law states:
“There is no law prohibiting children from being out on their own at any age. It is a matter of judgement for parents to decide when children can play out on their own, walk to the shops or school."
This policy outlines our procedures and practices to ensure the safety of children who walk to and from school alone.
