The school has currently registered for the Cycle Friendly School Award from Cycling Scotland to work towards becoming Cycle Friendly. Cycling Scotland is a recognised Scottish Charity.
Renfrewshire Council Bikeability Coordinator meets with schools to carry out the award assessments. They assess our cycle facilities and discuss what we are currently doing to encourage cycling as well as helping us to further embed cycling in our school.
Bikeability Scotland is organised and delivered at our school by trained instructors. It can support the culture, ethos and environment of our school contributing to active travel and the independence, confidence and health of our pupils.
It also promotes active lifestyle and active and sustainable travel choices, as part of the Eco-Schools initiative.
