I Bike Parent and Carer Survey 2020

This year, your child’s school will be participating in Sustrans’ I Bike project. Your child’s school might have also participated during the previous academic year. I Bike delivers a variety of classroom based activities and events to promote active travel to school. During the national Covid-19 lockdown, I Bike also delivered online activities including the I Bike Olympics over the summer.

We are interested in your thoughts on what could make active travel easier for your child. If your child engaged with I Bike during the lockdown school closures from March to July 2020, we are also interested in your experience of these activities.

Please complete this survey to help us evaluate and continue to improve the project. It should take around 10 minutes to complete. If you want to find out more about the survey you can contact us at IBikeMonitoring@sustrans.org.uk.

INTER-HOUSE EVENT

On Friday 9th October, the school hosted its first inter-house event of the session, a hotly contested inter-house rounders competition. The event was organised with social distancing and safety as a priority but the participants still had great fun battling it out for the title in the sunshine. The eventual winners of the event were Morven house. A huge well done to all of our competitors.

SENIOR AWARDS EVENT

On Tuesday 6th of October, the school held an awards ceremony for our senior pupils to recognise and celebrate their hard work from the previous session. It was not the usual Braidhurst prize-giving ceremony, but the event allowed the school community to praise our pupils who produced a high standard of work by consistently applying themselves. Each pupil received a certificate and a photograph was taken for them to take home.
