Pompey Monsters Stomp to School Challenge

The Pompey Monster Inter-school Stomp to School challenge is a 6 week walk to school challenge that will be completed by participating schools via the Go Jauntly app, in partnership with Portsmouth City Council.

What is the Pompey Monsters Stomp to School Challenge?

Stomper, the leader of the Pompey Monsters, is the challenge cheerleader and helps prompt pupils, parents and carers to change their school run habits. By walking, cycling, wheeling or scooting to school more often pupils, parents and carers become happier and healthier, reduce carbon emissions, air pollution and save money! 

Over the six week challenge pupils, parents and carers receive helpful tips on walking and wheeling and why choosing active travel is good for everyone and good for the environment. Stomper highlights weekly achievements and digital badges are unlocked each time a pupil walks to school.

How can my children take part in the Pompey Monsters Stomp to School Challenge?

The Pompey Monsters Inter-school Stomp to School Challenge will start in September 2023. Sign up will be available the week before launch. The following schools are participating in the 2023 Pompey Monsters Inter-school Stomp to School Challenge: 

• Penbridge Infant School

• New Horizons Primary School

• St Swithun's Catholic Primary School

• Gatcombe Park Primary School

• Stamshaw Infant School

To participate in this challenge all pupils, parents and carers must do is stomp to school at least once, everyday for six weeks. If you can’t stomp all the way to school, parents and carers are encouraged to park a short distance away from their school so they can still stomp some of the way. The more you walk, the more badges you’re awarded and the more chance you have of winning the challenge prizes.

Prizes, what prizes?

There will be two sets of overall first and second prizes available to win. A winning school will be selected from the Portsmouth North group as well as the Portsmouth South group. 

First prize for the winning school is a BMX show.

Second prize will be brand new scooter parking.
