Sir Captain Tom's Sponsored Event
Pupils from across Sutton have been working to make a tremendous positive impact on their communities throughout the challenges that 2020 and 2021 have brought. Together they have previously raised over £28,000 for local charities through various fundraising events. Many of the children wanted to thank their local hospitals, for their tireless work during the pandemic and were inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore.
On Friday 30th April, what would have been Captain Sir Tom Moore’s 101 birthday, all children at CCI will take part in a sponsored physical activity involving the number 100! From Nursery to Year 2 we will all be dancing for 100 seconds to mark the event!
Money raised will go to a variety of local NHS charities that support health and wellbeing initiatives for the hardworking staff as well as funding vital equipment needed in both St Heliers hospital as well as at Epsom hospital. A Just Giving page has been set up and it would be great if you are able to support this event, even if it is a donation of £2 as an entrance fee.

Information and Resources
School Streets consultation - London Borough of Sutton
Sutton Council trialled temporary School Streets in a number of areas across the borough last Autumn. These were initially suspended after the recent national lock down restrictions and then a decision to remove the trial schemes was approved by the Environment & Sustainable Transport Committee in February. While there has been clear evidence of their positive benefits, we also know from the feedback we have received that not all aspects of the experimental schemes were supported. We have taken these responses into account and revised the scheme design.
Where can I find out more?
For more information about this and other highways improvements go to sutton.gov.uk/saferstreets where you can also complete the consultation survey online if you prefer.
Tell them your views!
School Streets are going back out to consultation to determine if our proposals have support. The consultation will be open from Monday 15 March to Sunday 4 April. During this time, we will welcome all feedback from residents, schools, parents, guardians and carers, community and stakeholder organisations and local businesses about the scheme. There will then be a final statutory consultation in the summer, with a view to approved schemes going live in the borough in Autumn 2021.
