Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Education – in the Senedd at 1:56 pm on 3 July 2019.
Thank you for that answer, Minister. Would you join with me in congratulating Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Hamadryad in my region in Cardiff, which is becoming a pioneer for active travel in schools, not just in Wales but the rest of the UK? Their innovations are quite incredible: personalised travel planning for the pupils and parents; park and stride, so that, where a car has to be used, at least it's parked further away from the school. It's having dramatic effects on air pollution and walking rates for the pupils, who now on average are walking for between five and 10 minutes to and from school. Isn't this just the sort of programme that we want to encourage right across our education system and, who knows, we might get back to the age that I remember when I was at school when nearly everyone, unless you were ill, walked to school?
