Hands Up Survey

Engage your school in the national Travel to School Hands Up Survey, an annual initiative presented to all schools in Wales by Public Health Wales.

The survey is a fun way to raise awareness for active travel amongst children in years 1-6 and to encourage pupils to consider walking, wheeling or cycling to school. The survey doubles as an enjoyable classroom activity, requiring less than ten minutes to complete.
