Dear School Travel Champions
Welcome to the Big Pedal: the UK’s largest inter-school walking, scooting and cycling competition! Two schools from Haringey took part last year, so we’d love to get more involved this April. Schools compete to see who can complete the largest number of journeys across the two-week challenge – this is a really great way to encourage a mode-shift from cars to active travel on the journey to school. All student, staff and parent journeys count!
This year’s challenge will run from 22 April to 5 May 2020. It is free to enter and there are daily prizes to be won, free curriculum-based resource to use during the challenge and promotional posters. All resources and details of the prizes can be found on the Big Pedal website when you register, and an information sheet is attached.
The theme for the 2020 challenge is the human body. As well as getting active, pupils learn about the human body including messages about air quality and mental health using the Big Pedal wallchart.
I will be collating some information over the next few weeks to provide some ideas for how this can link to STARS, so keep an eye out for that and I hope you can get involved! If you register before 14 February you will be entered into a prize draw!
