Clean Air day is the UK's biggest air pollution campaign.

It is a chance to raise awareness about air pollution and make the air that we breathe cleaner and healthier.

Clean Air Day 2020 at Bartley Church of England Junior School        

Bartley C of E Junior School had a successful Clean Air Day for several reasons:

  • No idling: They ensured that the school buses turned off their engines outside the school. Normally the drivers leave their engines running, exposing people walking past or queuing nearby to harmful exhaust fumes. 
  • Park and Stride: The families who drive to school parked further away and walked down the country lane. 
  • Cars had the day off: Many children who come to school by bus walked to the bus stop instead of being driven.  One pair of children (twins) walked 1.5km to the bus stop across the countryside wearing their wellies (see the photographs of their walk below). They had a great time, arriving at school a little bit muddy but ready for the day!
