Car Swap Day Challenge

Centro is delighted to invite your school to take part in our Car Swap Day Challenge, which forms part of our Olympics-inspired competition to encourage young people to work together to achieve a goal. We have set the challenge for pupils to leave the car at home for just one day to explore and promote the various benefits of sustainable travel. This competition is an excellent project for your school or eco council to make a success. Further information about the competition is available in this introductory letter.

Please download these charts for you to monitor how children travel to school on the day and these guidance notes are packed full of ideas on how you can make your Car Swap Day a success.

The deadline for entries is Friday 1 June and the winning school will receive a fantastic prize of a circus skills workshop day at your school with fun activities for every year group.

Please return your entries along with the checklist to education@centro.org.uk or post to:
