Y6 Bikeability 2024

Bikeability Week - 5th to 9th February 2024

Dear Parent/Carers,
 
Great news! We will be coming to your school to do Bikeability training with your children in year 6.
 
Our training will take place at/around school the week commencing 5th February.
 
The Bikeability Level 2 course aims to improve rider’s skills and confidence for cycling on smaller roads and simple junctions without too much traffic. It prepares riders for cycling on larger and busier roads and more complicated junctions.
 
As part of the course we cover Bikeability level 1 fundamentals which ensures your child is safe to ride on the roads. All the riders will have to show the instructors they can do everything at the Bikeability Level 1 before they can go on the roads. Bikes can be left at IVJS overnight for the week however the school cannot take any responsibility for them.
 
Each child will need to have their own roadworthy bike, a helmet, suitable clothing for spending up to 90 minutes riding a bike outside (e.g. a shower-proof coat if it is going to rain, gloves if cold) and secure flat shoes/trainers, water, other personal requirement e.g. Medication needs, sun cream, inhaler.
 
Roadworthy condition means both brakes are fully working, tyres pumped up, gears (if present) operate as designed, chain properly lubricated.
 
 For more details about courses and some useful information regarding helmets, bike sizing, etc. please visit our web site at  https://www.spokesci.com/for-parents
 
The cost of the course is £10 per child, non-refundable. If you would like your child to take part, please book your child’s place on the school’s SchoolMoney system (it will show under the payments tab). We will then ask you to sign and return the consent form. Places are limited to 20 spots and so it will be a first come first serve basis.                              
                              
Kind regards
