Harness the power of your school community
The fun, easy way for schools to encourage physical activity and support important causes
"the provider prepares learners for life in modern Britain by: equipping them to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society"
"Walking and cycling are
good for our physical and mental health. Switching more journeys to active travel ... can improve physical activity levels, quality of life and the environment.
This section of the scheme therefore
considers the steps schools are taking to encourage active travel among their pupils. This includes ... promoting other types of active travel."
Strider x EVOLVE
A ‘Walk’ is a great ongoing way to collaboratively get active and raise funds for charities that your school wants to support. Everyone that joins your ‘Walk’ (members of your school community) automatically adopts the chosen charities of the ‘Walk’ enabling you to harness the power of your school community to fundraise just by going about your normal day.
To make it as easy as possible, Strider has partnered with EVOLVE (the educational management system for schools provided by eduFOCUS Limited) so that you can create and manage your ‘Walk’ from your existing EVOLVE account. You can create groups (e.g. tutor groups, year groups, houses etc.) within your ‘Walk’ so that you can monitor progress, and even introduce an element of competition.
Creating your ongoing ‘Walk’ as a school is a great way to harness the power of your community and make a difference!
