The Big Pedal Is Over!

Enormous congratulations and thank you to everyone who cycled or scooted to school over the past two weeks.

I am pleased to announce that within the Greater London area we placed 61^st out of 121. This includes schools that are within London and Essex, and as far afield as Surrey, Hertfordshire and Middlesex.

Nationally Broadford Primary School came 602^nd out of a massive 1056 schools.

Over the two weeks 23% of our pupils made 951 journeys on bicycles and scooters.

Well done to everyone for choosing a more sustainable mode of travel to school and reducing your carbon footprint.

You should all feel very proud of yourself.

 

It always seems impossible until it is done.

The Big Pedal 2014

A massive well done to everyone who contributed to making 1 million journeys to school during this year's Big Pedal. All of the journeys have now been logged and are still being counted up! Results will be available after 3.30pm today.

This is a new record, so every school, pupil, parent and staff member should be really proud.

Look out for Broadford’s results tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who took part.

 

 

The Big Pedal Starts on Monday 3rd March

Get set … the Big Pedal starts on Monday!

If you are taking part this is what you have to do.

Ride your bike or scooter to school wearing your helmet. When you arrive at school walk your wheels to the storage facilities and lock them up. If the storage is full you will be able to walk your wheels and store them outside your classroom.

You can earn house points for your team as well as points towards the school’s big pedal results!

Enjoy the ride!

The Big Pedal 2014 - 3-14 March

The Big Pedal is a giant inter-school cycling and scooting competition that encourages children, teachers and parents to choose two wheels for their school journeys.

This year’s competition will span 10 school days, from 3 to 14 March, and the more children who scoot and cycle each day, the more points your school will earn. Schools right across the UK will be competing against each other, and the competition is weighted according to the size of the school, so everyone has a fair chance to win.

There are more than 20 fantastic prizes up for grabs, including bike and scooter stunt displays, children’s bikes, scooter parking and more!

This year’s event features new and souped-up versions of the popular wheelie characters – there are 10 to collect, one for each day of the event. Each day we will log the school’s daily result on the Big Pedal website and will be rewarded with a wheelie to add to your own Big Pedal wallchart. The characters’ design will depend on the number of people who cycled and scooted that day, and the aim is to fill the wallchart with as many super-strength, super-powered, superhero wheelies as possible!
