Hide AdJo Lenthall, PE lead at Brockwell Junior School, winners of the schools leaderboards for both total and average points, said the school would be using their prize vouchers to buy new playtime equipment for the children plus looking into how most of the vouchers could be used to support charities which may be struggling during this difficult time.
Jo added: “We as a whole community have absolutely loved participating in Beat the Street.
“It has brought the community closer together as we have cycled, run and walked together.”

Hide AdGraham Voss and his dog Benji played for Hady Primary School and became minor celebrities while out tapping all of the Beat Boxes by bike and on foot.
He said: “Beat the Street is the best thing ever to happen to Chesterfield.”
A spokesperson for Beat the Street said: “Unfortunately, the planned celebratory event will now not take place; winning teams will receive their prizes by post or email.
“Players are invited to keep hold of their cards and fobs for now as they may be useful for future special events and one-off activities.”
