Carcroft Celebrates Walk and Wheel Challenge 2026, we won!

9th October 2026Laura Godley

Carcroft School was delighted to welcome Olympic medal-winning cyclist Ed Clancy and the Bikeability team for a fantastic day of cycling activities, after we worked so hard during last year’s Walk and Wheel Challenge!

Our children had the opportunity to take part in exciting cycling sessions, build their confidence and learn more about the importance of cycling safely. Meeting Ed Clancy, a three-time Olympic gold medallist, was a brilliant opportunity to be inspired by someone who has achieved so much in the world of cycling!

The sessions helped promote active lifestyles, road safety and cycling as a fun, healthy and environmentally friendly way to travel. It was wonderful to see our children getting involved, developing new skills and enjoying such a memorable experience.

A huge thank you to Ed and the entire Bikeability team for visiting Carcroft and helping to make the day so special. We are incredibly grateful for this fantastic opportunity and the lasting memories created for our children.

What a brilliant way to celebrate all of the children’s effort, walking and wheeling to school!

Dodgeball Champions of Character!

23rd September 2026Laura Godley

Today, we put our sportsmanship and resilience to the test during an exciting game of dodgeball!

We worked together as a crew, encouraged one another and showed great respect for our opponents. We learned that winning isn’t everything, it’s about giving our best, bouncing back when things don’t go our way and continuing to support our crewmates.

There were plenty of challenges along the way, but we showed resilience, determination and a fantastic Crew spirit. We were proud to see everyone demonstrating what it means to be a great sport!
