Street Tag is a free app-based system for pupils, their families and staff to collect points for active travel – walking, cycling or scooting (but not driving) past virtual tags which are on routes to schools and in parks. The five top scoring schools each season can win prizes of up to £500.
Lambeth’s Public Health and Active Travel Teams are partnering with Street Tag to get families active in 2024. The second 12-week season starts on 8 May and runs to 12 July. Teams can join at any time during the season so encourage your schools to sign up to the Leader Board for the in order to competed for a prize. Every school in Lambeth is invited. School teams can include up to 250 parents, carers, children, staff and governors – and a school is allowed more than one team.

This exciting competition not only promotes healthy habits among schools but also inspires families to explore Lambeth’s vibrant parks, green spaces, libraries, adventure playgrounds, sports facilities, and cultural trails.
