Where can you improve?


Whatever the results of your survey there are some aspects of the cycling experience that always spring to mind that need careful consideration or some improvement.

Safety – what access is there to suitable cycle lanes and paths? Does the school provide safety equipment or staff supervision where it can? 


There are: 


Experience & Skills – have the children got the necessary road safety and cycling skills? Do they have access to training and help?


What can you provide?


To encourage more pupils and staff to take up cycling there will be things that the school will need to provide. Not all of these have costs or require ongoing resources to deliver.


Training – to help pupils understand more about road safety, basic cycle maintenance and the benefits of cycling


Access – to secure cycle parking, safety equipment and adult help and supervision if required, create a cycle champion maybe?


Maps – showing the safest routes to cycle to school, using cycle lanes and pathways


Groups – bring pupils together into groups who can cycle together to gain the most from the social benefits and improved safety


Equipment – e.g. some basic safety visibility pieces, such as reflective strips


Space – for cycle storage and cycling practice, that is available on a permanent basis
