Win big this term!
Newham Council have partnered with BetterPoints to use their free app to run a Schools Challenge for infant and primary schools as part of the BetterPoints Newham programme, and if you have children at one of the infant or primary schools in the Borough, you are invited!
During the Autumn term (28th September- 18th December), your school will be competing against other local schools in the borough for a chance to win prizes for yourself and your school.
Top prize - £500 in resources
Runner up - £250 in resources
Third Place - £150 in resources
ALSO: The schools with the most sign-ups will win a Tennis taster day at their school, thanks to the National Tennis Association, and the runners-up will win a Rocket Padel taster session (to give to up to 25 pupils) thanks to Rocket Padel Beckton.
🎯 How to join in
STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD the free BetterPoints app from your App Store here
STEP 2 - Go to the app MENU and add your SPECIAL CODE from your school
STEP 3 - Visit the CHALLENGES tab in the app and JOIN CHALLENGE
STEP 4 - Pick your SCHOOL TEAM
🎯 How It Works
To record your activities, ensure automatic tracking is switched on in the top right corner of the app. Pop your phone in your pocket or bag, head outdoors to start earning BetterPoints and BetterTickets.
🎁 How do I win a prize?
By walking, wheeling, scooting, running or cycling as much as possible! You can earn BetterPoints and BetterTickets for some amazing weekly prize draws.
🏆 How does my school win a prize?
The Engagement Ranked Leaderboard
It's all about the number of parents, guardians and staff who take part, compared to the number of pupils on roll, as a percentage. So it is fair for everyone.
Encourage as many people as you can to sign up and join in!
For example:
SCHOOL 1 - Has 600 pupils and gets 150 signed up = That's 25%
SCHOOL 2 - Has 900 pupils and gets 150 signed up = That's almost 17%
SCHOOL 3 - Has 350 pupils and gets 150 signed up = That's almost 43% - so they would top the engagement leaderboard with the highest percentage.
At the end of the challenge, if your school is at the top of the engagement leaderboard, the following prizes will be awarded:
1st Prize - £500
2nd Prize - £250
3rd Prize - £150
All prizes can be spent on gardening, sports equipment, or resources to encourage active travel.
Increase your ENGAGEMENT rankings: invite parents and staff to the Newham Walk, Wheel and Win challenge, and share the code newhamwww so they can take part.
The Membership Leaderboard: The schools with the most sign-ups will win a Tennis taster day at their school, thanks to the National Tennis Association, and the runners-up will win a Rocket Padel taster session (to give to up to 25 pupils) thanks to Rocket Padel Beckton.
