Cycling Proficiency Group 1
The first half of the Autumn Term has seen the first group of Year 6 pupils undertaking Cycling Proficiency. Learning about various aspects of cycle safety, the Highway Code and bike handling, the children have progressed from sessions on the school playground to excursions onto local roads, where they have had to apply their knowledge for real. The children, assisted by a fantastic team of parent volunteers, have also had homework tasks to make sure that they were up to speed ready for the assessment at the end of the course. After visits from an external examiner to test both theory and practice, I am pleased to say that all children in the group passed and I'm sure that they are now better prepared for any independent cycling that they may do in the future.
A huge thank you to our wonderful team of parent volunteers. Without our dedicated volunteers, it simply wouldn't be possible to offer Cycling Proficiency to our pupils. New parents are always welcome - if you think that you might be able to offer some of your time in future, please contact Helen Marchetti or the school office.
