What is Bikeability? Bikeability is the national cycle training programme, where your child will learn the skills to help boost confidence and independent thinking thus helping them to be a safer road user. They’ll not only become better cyclists but also safer pedestrians. Learning the rules of the road when young is a real boost to confidence and a very positive experience of true travel independence.
The training is free and is open to all children in year 4,5 & 6. Please sign your consent form and return it to the school office by Wednesday 15th January.
