Cycling and pedestrian training in schools

Cycle training in schools

We offer a range of cycle training which runs during the school day.

Level 1

We offer primary schools level one cycle training for year five children (nine and ten year olds). The whole class attends a single session for a full morning or afternoon. It is based in the playground and allows children to develop control skills and prepare for on-road training. No teacher assistance is required. Children will need a bike for training.

The charge for level one training is £3.20.

Level 2

Level two cycle training is offered to primary schools for year five and six children (ten and eleven year olds). It is run over a minimum of five sessions (taking place over one half-term) on roads near the school and covers all the basic manoeuvres.

The charge for level two training is £16.

Level 3

Level three cycle training is offered to secondary schools for year seven children and above (11+ year olds). It consists of a two hour, one-to-one session on the route from home to school. It prepares children for most on-road situations, such as cycling in heavy traffic. A cycling permit is issued at the end of the training.

The charge for level three training is £8.

Pedestrian training in schools

We contact all primary schools to offer pedestrian training for year three and four children (8 and 9 year olds). We take children out for two 90-minute sessions. Training is run during school time.

Schools are charged £26 per session for pedestrian training.
