Our 2019/20 Challenge…
The Sheriff’s Challenge
The Sheriff’s Challenge is a series of activities for all Primary school-age children encouraging them to run, walk, swim and cycle. Each academic year a different challenge will be set which will encompass a ‘joint goal’ for schools in Nottingham to cumulatively reach plus individual pupil targets. It’s FREE for schools and the benefits include promoting better health and wellbeing, children being outdoors and active, improved concentration, attainment, behavior and attendance.
The Challenge for 2019/2020
Nottingham City Schools have been set the challenge to cumulatively Walk or Run around the World – that’s 25,000 miles! Pupils are set the individual challenge to walk or run 100 miles – that’s the equivalent of running four full marathons each over the academic year!
Download and use the FREE “MyChallenge App” to record activity and find out how you are doing against the other schools signed up.
