We have a number of places remaining on our Bikeability sessions for students in Year 7. The sessions are completely free; students just need to bring their own bike.
The sessions are offered in partnership with Bikeability and lead to a certificate in Level 3 Bikeability. Bikeability Level 3 is delivered on roads with large volumes of traffic travelling at higher speeds. Students will learn how to:
- Cycle almost anywhere using complex road junctions and features such as roundabouts, multi-lane roads and traffic lights
- Plan their route using any road
- Understand driver blind spots and how to avoid them
- Cycle through queuing or slower moving traffic
- Identify and react to hazardous road surfaces
The sessions take place during school time and students must take responsibility for making up the missed work from their lessons. The dates and times of the sessions are:
- Wednesday 18 November 8.45 – 10.45
- Wednesday 18 November 11.00 – 13.00
- Thursday 19 November 8.45 – 10.45
- Thursday 19 November 11.00 – 13.00
- Monday 23 November 8.45 – 10.45
- Monday 23 November 11.00 – 13.00
There are 36 places which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you’d like to book a place for your child, please go to our online booking system (if you have any queries, please email Sophie Dickinson on [email protected]). More places may be available later in the year.
