The Big Pedal
Get set… we’re taking part in Sustrans Big Pedal 2021, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs for 2 weeks from Monday 19th April to Friday 30th April and we would love everyone to be involved.
Sustrans Big Pedal
· Is a great way to get children active, which is important for physical health and mental wellbeing.
· Active school runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gate.
· Covid-19 has made active travel to school even more important. The Department for Education have said encouraging active travel to school helps “to enable pupils to be physically active while encouraging physical distancing.”
Plus there are some great prizes to be won every day if we get enough children taking part!
What do you need to do?
We want as many of our pupils and families to get involved in this event.
Encourage your daughter(s) to take active journeys to school on as many days as possible during the event, and join them on their way.
Should you live too far away from school to walk we do not want this to stand in your way of taking part. So if you could drive part of the way but include a 10 – 15 minute walk, scoot or cycle to our school building then that will still count as active journey.
