CYCLING PROFICIENCY SCHEME14 May 2025 (by admin) |
It's that time of year again when we begin the process of formally training the P7 pupils in The Cycling Proficiency Scheme.
The scheme teaches children:
- to ride a bicycle safely on public roads,
- the main rules of the road,
- how to negotiate junctions.
- to develop observation and manoeuvrability skills,
- the Highway Code for Young Road Users,
- the importance of cycle maintenance and hazard awareness,
- the importance of being conspicuous and wearing protective headgear
The course includes the basics of off-road training and on-road training, progressing from quiet
roads to building confidence on busier roads.
As you can see from the photos the children are really enjoying this wonderful opportunity.
