Dear Parent / Carers,
This week it has been the turn of Year 4 to enjoy Bikeability lessons. If you enjoy cycling you may be interested in some local events which are being run in Haringey this month (See below) Last Friday two of our Junior travel ambassadors represented Campsbourne School at the Celebration Event for TfL STARS 2023 to receive a Gold Award for their hard work in encouraging more sustainable ways of travelling to school. We are very proud of all their efforts, especially as they were the only children to deliver a presentation about the initiatives they have been leading on. WELL DONE!

These meetings are taking place on the following dates:
