The pupils will be provided with high visibility tabards and escorted onto the walking bus.
Sam, Durham County Council's fitness and safety mascot will also be present at a special assembly on the first day.
Head teacher Mark Stephenson said: "The walking bus will remove some of the cars from the road directly outside of school which is heavily congested at both the beginning and end of the school day.
