We took part in a whole school competition to design a poster on travelling safely and sustainably to school. We aim to encourage as many people to walk, cycle or scoot to school.
There were lots of fantastic competition entries and our JRSOs chose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd and even made up their own prize hamper for the winner, what a lovely touch!
The winning entry will be entered in to the Sustrans competition and if we win, our school will receive a banner of the poster to display at our gates!
Well done to our winning entries!
