FOA Schools in Redcar and Cleveland!
Redcar and Cleveland is being transformed into a giant game and your school is invited to play!
Beat the Street is a free, fun, walking and cycling game which gets staff, pupils and their families out and about in the local area, having fun and keeping healthy. The Redcar and Cleveland game runs from 2nd March to 13th April 2022.
Beat the Street is designed to get children and communities moving by helping people to make small changes, such as walking or cycling to school every day, to improve health and help embed physical activity into everyday life. So far 1.5 million people and 4,500 schools have taken part in games across the UK and beyond. Evidence shows that the programme really helps adults and children become more active.
More details on how your school can get involved is included in the attached.
Additionally, to support schools in Redcar & Cleveland we have organised for two workshops to hear about the game and learn from the winning schools that took part in Beat the Street in Middlesbrough in September 2021.
