P6 Bikeability

Mrs Fairbairn has now completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives. Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.
As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
Please read the attached parents guide to become familiar with the course content and complete the questionnaire by following the link below below. https://cycling.scot/media/d4bp0dfl/2024-07-03-parent-s-guide.pdf
