Our Read and Ride-A-Thon is a bike ride bonanza…where three of KPA’s lucky teachers will be cycling from Viking Bay in Kent, all the way to Lands End in Cornwall!

Our cyclists will set off in Viking Bay on the 29th July, and cycle along the south coast, stopping off at a number of destinations on the way to read a wide range of reading materials. They aim to arrive in Bournemouth on 1st August, where you can meet and greet them, showing them support along their way! Finally – weather and health permitting – they will arrive in Lands End on the 8th August.

This is a 530 mile cycle to help raise awareness and funds for children in our local area. First and foremost, through a range of fun and engaging fundraising activities, we aim to promote reading and exercising for children in our local area – and beyond!

Our secondary aim is to raise enough money to support King’s Park Academy’s library and sports facilities, giving them a much needed refurbishment, exciting children at KPA to become regular readers and fitness fanatics!
