Sponsored Cycle Ride Event
We have arranged a sponsored cycle ride event for pupils and parents to participate in, to take place on Sunday 6th March at 2pm.
Parents and pupils will cycle along the Derwent Walk for three miles. If your child enters this sponsored event, their name will go into a draw and Alan Barlow (Sustrans Officer for Gateshead) will pick out the winning pupil on Monday 14th March. The wonderful prize is a bike, generously donated by Alan Barlow.
There will be 3 prizes for the pupils who have raised the most funds. We wish to raise some funds to support the school in purchasing school equipment (e.g. laptops) and to cover the outdoor play equipment area in the KS2 yard with rubber matting so pupils can play on the equipment in wet weather.
If your child wishes to participate, the sponsorship forms will be distributed shortly.
