Overview & Route

A National Walk for Safer, Stronger School Communities

Walk the Premier League is a 1,000+ mile national challenge led by headteacher Peter Stewart, walking between all 20 Premier League stadiums to stand up for safer, stronger school communities across the country.

Starting from New Moston Primary School on 16th February 2026, each leg of the journey is completed in the school holidays, linking major cities, football clubs and school communities.

Along the way, Peter will be joined by families, school groups, Walk & Talk Guests, community organisations and other headteachers who want to step up for their own communities.

This isn’t just a physical challenge.
It’s a national stand for primary-aged children who deserve safety, opportunity and hope.
