Dear Parents/Carers,

We have some exciting news for you! We are taking part in Big Walk and Wheel, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 16 – 27 March 2026. It’s free to take part and we would love everyone to be involved.

🛴What do you need to do?

Encourage your child(ren) to walk, use a wheelchair, scoot or cycle to school on as many days as possible during the event.

🚲Including everyone

We want to make sure that everyone can get involved in Big Walk and Wheel.

We know it may be more difficult for some pupils to take part than others. If you want to discuss more about your child(ren)’s specific needs, please contact Mrs MacFarlane via [email protected] l and we will make sure to look into how your child(ren) can take part.

🛼Why we are taking part

Big Walk and Wheel is a great way to build physical activity in children’s daily routine which is important for their physical health and mental wellbeing.


Active school runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gate. A 2021 YouGov study showed nearly half of UK children worry about air pollution near their school. And that children thought active travel was the best away to bring down these pollution levels.

Plus, there are some great prizes to be won every day if we get enough children taking part!



🛹Useful resources

To help you prepare, Walk Wheel Cycle Trust has developed a handy Parent/ Caregiver page on the challenge website. It is packed with advice to help you have a hassle-free journey to school.

For more information about the event go to www.bigwalkandwheel.org.uk.

Enjoy the challenge!


Best wishes

🕺 School Disco? We NEED You! 💃
​The Parent Council is hoping to put on a Disco for Friday, 1st May, but we can’t create this magical night without your help! We need to tick three boxes to make it happen:

​1. A Great DJ 🎧
Our usual choices are booked! We need a clean, kid-friendly DJ who knows how to work a dance floor. Know someone? Tag them below or DM us!

​2. A Team of Volunteers 🤝
We cannot run this event without a solid volunteer team. If your children are attending, please consider giving just one or two hours of your time to help. Please comment below 👇 if you can help. If we don't get enough help, the event can't go ahead.

​3. Attendance Interest 🙋
Are your kids excited to boogie? We need to gauge the numbers!
👍​Like this post if your kids are eager to attend!

​Let’s work together to make this happen for the kids. 🪩

08/01/2026

School and Nursery will open later today (Thursday January 8th) at 10.00am to allow more time for safe travel to school. This later start means there will be no Breakfast Club this morning.

Please take care travelling to the school today and ensure your child comes dressed appropriately for the weather conditions. All children are advised to come with a change of clothes and dry indoor shoes.

Information about school closures are updated on the Highland Council school closures website:

***EDIT If our hot shot team have missed your school in the list, please dm and we will sort out a prize *** THANK YOU to everyone who voted and special thanks to our wee Lois who totted up the numbers!! It looks like the top 3 schools who win a giant gonk are - Dalneigh, Muirtown & Tomnacross. Obviously we want to support all our lovely schools so we will have raffle prizes for all 43 schools who entered. We will organise prizes over the weekend and have all 43 prizes ready to collect between 2-5pm on Monday from the shop. Please note the shop is closed on Monday but we are inside (probably buried under a pile of boxes). Just knock if the door is closed. Xx

Running a school Christmas Fair? We have 3 of these jolly giant gonks available to help 3 Inverness School’s fundraising. Please attach a photo of your school in the Facebook comments. The 3 schools with the most likes on their photo/comment by lunchtime on Friday will be offered one. As you can imagine we are inundated with requests for donations, please be kind to each other! ♥️
