The funding, provided by National Grid, totals more than £30,000 and will be allocated to all-girl teams.

A resource aimed at encouraging students to cycle, walk or “scoot” to school has been released by charity Sustrans to coincide with Bike to School Week this week. Designed for teachers to deliver over five days, the resource includes information on bike maintenance, travel surveys, mapping tasks, as well as activities which can be delivered in the classroom or playground.
