We offer Bikeability Levels 2 and 3 to Bristol school children on behalf of Bristol City Council. Every year we train hundreds of children, improving their skills and confidence.
Who is it for?
Level 2 on-road training is available for children in schools years 5 and 6 only. The Level 3 Advanced training is for students in schools years 7, 8 & 9.
How does it work?
Level 2
We run courses for groups of 12 children at a time, led by 2 National Standard Instructors. We can deliver 2 courses in the morning and/or one in the afternoon. The training is usually run over 5 x 1.5hr sessions to embed the children's learning. We can adapt the courses to fit in with the school calendar & timetable.
Level 3
The syllabus is 6 hours of study for groups of 6 students with 2 National Standard Instructors. The advanced nature of the training and busier roads and junctions used requires the higher ratio. The training is normally delivered over 3 x 2hr sessions. We can adapt the courses to fit in with the school calendar & timetable.
Cost
Bikeability is partially funded by the Department for Transport and Bristol City Council. There is a required contribution of £10 per pupil to take part; this can come from parents or many schools use their Sports Premium grant.
