Fawbert and Barnard's Primary school took part in this national challenge where overall we came 43rd out of 2254 schools.

The results of determination of all families in our community walking to school lead to the 5 best day average of 94.25% of children reducing their carbon footprint  with 67.83% supporters accompanying them. Families were walking, cycling and scooting to school,  leading Fawbert and Barnard's Primary School to come first in Harlow! Huge congratulations! We would like to continue to encourage children to walk to school and help safe the planet one small step at a time. 

Big Pedal is a great way to get more children travelling actively to school, reducing congestion outside school gates and improving safety and pupil concentration in class.

The 2019 Big Pedal saw a record 3.8 million journey made by bike, foot or scooter to nearly 1,700 schools up and down the country. More than 550,000 people took part and 4.7 million car journeys were prevented, saving drivers around £1.6m on fuel.
