Restless Development .
On Friday 18th June 2021, Farringtons School pupils will team up in threes to take on a triathlon - swimming, cycling (or scootering if you're in reception!) and running their way to the finish line whilst raising money for Restless Development.
The event is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all abilities - whether its your first time riding a bike, or swimming the distance - there will be lots of staff and volunteers to support the children in reaching their goal. You'll also be working together as a team, and at the end - you'll cross the finish line and get your very own eco-friendly and sustainable medal to take home and show off to all your friends and family.

Fundraising
Restless Development knows how important charitable giving is for your school’s community. Supporting children to think of their wider role in the world, to encourage giving at an early age, and to support their learning to think of the needs of others and how they can make a difference.
Pupils will be asked to raise a minimum of £30 to take part with a target of £60. Restless Development will provide tons of resources to help the passionate triathletes reach their target, including fundraising packs and friendly support. Fundraisers will be awarded a certificate for achieving their goal. These will be presented in a celebration assembly at school.
