We are very proud to have established Bikeability within our school. Every pupil up to the Upper Sixth has had the opportunity to take part. Sporting NRG, our delivery partners, have been able to meet the need of every child, from the non-rider to nervous rider and those with dyspraxic or other physical conditions, we are as inclusive as possible.
Could all parents please follow the link via the synergy broadcast or the letter sent home via pupils to ensure that they have completed consent for their child to take part. If you have any specific questions, please email or message the Heads of Year via Synergy.
We also have a few 'Cycle to School' route cards for you to download:
