Big Pedal
The charity Sustrans is encouraging kids, parents and teachers to leave the car at home and get on their bikes and scooters for the school run between 28 February and 20 March. The three-week 'The Big Pedal' campaign aims to get families to be more active as well as save fuel.

Following this, we will be starting Bike-It every Thursday. Children will receive a raffle ticket every time they come on their bike and there will be a raffle at the end of the year for a new bicycle.
