Bikeability is the UK’s national cycle training programme, designed to give pupils the skills and confidence to ride safely on modern roads. ### What the Children Will Learn Led by qualified instructors, Year 6 will take their cycling skills out onto local roads around the school. During the training, they will learn how to: - Carry out essential bike safety checks. - Signal clearly to other road users and navigate junctions safely. - Identify potential road hazards and ride with awareness and confidence. ### Putting Our Values into Action - **Courage:** Taking that step from the playground out onto the road takes real bravery. - **Perseverance:** Practising key signals, listening carefully, and mastering road positioning requires focus and patience.
