We were delighted to welcome the Bikeability team to our school this term as part of our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles, road safety, and practical life skills.
Over the course of the programme, pupils took part in fun, engaging, and expertly delivered cycling sessions designed to boost their confidence and ability when riding a bike. Whether it was mastering control skills in the playground or learning how to safely navigate real roads under the guidance of trained instructors, pupils rose to the challenge with enthusiasm and determination.
Bikeability is the national cycle training programme, supported by the Department for Transport, and helps children gain the skills they need to ride safely and responsibly on today’s roads. Pupils not only improved their cycling techniques, but also learned about the importance of road awareness, signalling, helmet safety, and responsible travel.
The feedback from pupils was overwhelmingly positive. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they embraced new challenges and learned valuable skills that will serve them for years to come.
A big thank you to the Bikeability instructors for their patience, encouragement, and professionalism—and well done to all our young cyclists for taking part so brilliantly!
