Bikeability
Bikeability Scotland is the national cycle training programme for school children. The children receive comprehensive training to give them the skills and confidence to cycle safely and responsibly on roads.
There are three levels of training, and pupils are taught by qualified school staff and parent helpers to make sure they have the confidence to make independent journeys on their bikes. The scheme is run by Cycling Scotland. We offer Level 1 in Primary 5 (playground only) and only once the pupils have mastered the basic skills and manoeuvres they will go on to Level 2 in Primary 6/7 to apply their skills on road.
This is a national initiative which promotes safe cycling and bicycle maintenance. Participants are assessed as they progress through the training and are awarded a badge and certificate on completion of the course.
Our aim is that the children become more aware of the importance of road safety in relation to themselves and other road users.

Primary 5 worked very hard learning songs and information to present at the Harvest Assembly.
Together with the rest of the school they created art work to decorate the hall.
After the assembly they worked hard filling bags for the nominated members of the community with groceries donated by friends and families of the school and McColl’s who once again kindly donated a fantastic quantity of goods.
Mr Guthrie from the Food Bank in Girvan came along and spoke at the assembly, a few bags of groceries were donated to this worthy cause.
