Allison Homes marks International Walk to School Month at Priors Hall ALC

Allison Homes have donated 450 hi-vis bag tags to three primary schools located close to its developments, helping pupils stay visible on their journeys to and from school during International Walk to School Month.

Taking place throughout October, International Walk to School Month celebrates the benefits of walking and wheeling to school where possible, including helping children stay active and reducing the number of vehicles around school gates.

150 high vis tags were donated to Priors Hall – A Learning Community, situated within Priors Hall Park, where Allison Homes Central are delivering 161 new homes.

The bag tags are designed to be attached to pupils’ school bags, helping improve visibility during the darker mornings and evenings, particularly during the winter months, and on busy routes surrounding schools.

By providing the hi-vis bag tags during International Walk to School Month, Allison Homes hopes to support pupils making active journeys while helping them remain more easily seen by drivers, cyclists and other pedestrians.

Teighan Ridge, Administrator at Priors Hall – A Learning Community, said: “We were delighted to receive the reflective bag tags from Allison Homes and know they will be a useful addition for our pupils. It’s lovely to see local organisations supporting our children in such a practical way, and we hope the tags will encourage them to take extra care when travelling around our community.”
