This week c. Feb 20, 2023, our Year 5 and 6 pupils had their Bikeability courses.

They learned how to cycle safely around the city, avoiding hazards and managing risks when on the bike. All pupils were all brilliant and did marvellous! Well done to all and especially to the lovely instructors of CycleConfident Lewisham.

So , what is this course about?

Bikeability LEVEL 2  is aimed at years 5 and 6 and usually takes place over 5 days.

On this course children learn how to:
