We are thrilled to announce that Harrodian has been awarded by the Mayor's Office a Gold accreditation for our school travel plan and its execution (please see our certificate below).
Going for gold has involved reducing the number of car trips made to and from school, easing pollution; encouraging walking; promoting healthier lifestyles for pupils and their families and reducing our carbon footprint on the world. Achieving this demonstrates how committed Harrodian is to reducing the impact of the school on the local environment.
To encourage more children to cycle to school, our 12s participated in their Level 2** National Standards for Cycle Training course after school this week with CyclewithMe. This consisted of five training sessions held after school, both on school grounds and on surrounding roads. They covered the fundamentals of safe on-road cycling: awareness, communication and positioning (starting and stopping, passing on side roads and by parked or slow moving vehicles, left and right turns and sometimes small roundabouts) conducted on quite roads near the School.
Well done and thank you to everyone who is helping to make Harrodian a safer and cleaner school.
