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.

Children can access the class teams page by logging on to Glow and going to the Office 365 Microsoft Teams app. Children can also use this app to chat to each other and to ask their teacher any questions about the work they have to do.
