Bikeability and Scootability
Bikeability
This year we continued with our Bikeability training with our Year 6 pupils completing Level 1 and Level 2 cyclist training. These certificates not only encouraged our children to be confident and enjoy riding but also developed the following:
Level 1:
- Improved confidence in mounting and dismounting their bike
- Start, pedal and stop with control
- Pedal using the correct gears
- Keep control of the bike whilst looking around
- Ride safely around pedestrians
Level 2:
- Prepare for safe road cycling
- Start and finish an on road journey safely
- Recognise typical hazards
- Know where to ride on the road and do this safely
- Pass parked vehicles on side roads
Scootability
This year, for the first time, we have introduced "Scootability" training for our KS1 pupils. It gives our pupils the oportunity to learn the skills and knowledge to ride safely in the local area whilst using a scooter.
