Year 5 Bikeability 2021

Dear Parent,
 
Bikeability Level 2 cycle training at Iver Village Junior School
 
A cycle training course will be run at your child’s school, starting on Wednesday 24th March and finishing on Friday 26th March.
This course is partially funded by Buckinghamshire Council and open to Year 5 only. There are only twenty-four places available and it will be on a first come first serve basis. Completed forms and full payment must be bought back in to school by Friday 12th March.
 
The Bikeability Level 2 course develops student’s skills and confidence for cycling on single-lane roads with simple junctions and mostly moderate traffic. During the training children will learn how to make independent decisions and cycle safely and responsibly.
 
As part of the course we cover Bikeability level 1 fundamentals which ensures your child is safe to ride on the roads. However, if your child is not deemed safe, they will not proceed to Level 2. Before allowing your child onto the road they need to be able to signal confidently, using one hand to steer the bike without wobbling.
 
For the safety of your child this is a compulsory requirement and without these skills we cannot take them onto the road. To avoid disappointment, we advise making sure your child is confident doing the above.
 
Cycles must be roadworthy and have TWO working brakes.

The cost of the course is £10 per child. If you would like your child to take part, you can pay for a place on your SchoolMoney account, under the shop tab. Please also sign and return the enclosed consent form.                                      

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us via the school or on the email address below.

Kind regards
