CYCLING PROFICIENCY SCHEME🚴

The Year 7 children have been busy this week taking part in the Cycling Proficiency Scheme (CPS).

The CPS teaches children who can already ride a bicycle how to do so more safely. It covers what to wear, bicycle maintenance and the rules of the road.

It also allows children to practise cycling manoeuvres in a safe environment. Manoeuvres include - starting off, slowing down, stopping and parking, turning right and left, overtaking parked cars, passing side roads and carrying out emergency stops safely. The CPS also provides information on the different types of cycle routes available.

As well as the practical aspects, pupils must pass a theory test on relevant sections of the Highway Code. 
Well done to all our Year Seven pupils who have successfully completed their Cycling Proficiency. Thank You to Mrs. Barrett for delivering the programme.
