--- title: "Cycle Safety" url: "https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/keeping-safe/cycle-safety" school: "Revoe Learning Academy" --- # Cycle Safety ## **Cycle Safety** Our Year 4 children take part in the Primary School Bikeability Program which is designed to teach children essential cycling skills, promoting safety, confidence, and independence on the road. The program is structured in two levels: Level 1 focuses on basic bike handling skills and control, taught in a safe, traffic-free environment (the school playground), while Level 2 introduces children to cycling on quiet roads, covering key skills such as signalling, road positioning, and hazard awareness. Both levels are designed to help children become competent and confident cyclists, preparing them for independent cycling in a safe and enjoyable way. #### **Bikeability Level 1 teaches children to:** **Maintain the bicycle:** making sure the bicycle is in good condition and shows show to make simple repairs **Glide:** smooth, calm and collected **Control the bike:** including setting off, cruising, slowing down, braking and stopping. Children will even learn to pedal one handed! **Pedal:** without feeling wobbly or out of control **Be aware of your surroundings:** looking behind and turning around obstacles. #### **Bikeability Level 2 teaches children to:** **Start and stop** with more confidence **Pass stationary vehicles** parked on a road **Understand the road:** signals, signs and road markings **Negotiate the road:** including quiet junctions, crossroads and roundabouts **Share the road** with other vehicles For more information on the Bikeability program, click the icon below: [![](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/images/Bikeability-Trust-Logo-1-aspect-ratio-1690-752-300x133.png)](https://www.bikeability.org.uk/) ![](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/images/teaching-cycle-safety.jpg) [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/E8naImxHz_s?rel=0) - [![Embrace Teaching School Hub](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/Embrace_TSH_Banner_Logo(2).png)](https://embracetsh.co.uk/) - [![PSQM](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/PSQM_2022(1).jpg)](https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/projects-and-evaluation/projects/primary-science-quality-mark) - [![School Games Gold](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/SG-L1-3-gold-2023-24.png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/about/what-school-games/) - [![Teacher Development Trust Network Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/TDT_Gold.png)](https://tdtrust.org/) - [![University of Cumbria](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/University_of_Cumbria.jpg)](https://www.cumbria.ac.uk/) - [![Schools Direct](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/Schools_Direct.jpeg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schools-direct-com-ltd?originalSubdomain=uk) - [![Ofsted Good School](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/ofsted.png)](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/140673) - [![CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/partners/ceop.png)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/ceop-reporting/) ![Revoe Learning Academy](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/logo/Revoe-Learning-Academy.png) ### Revoe Learning Academy Grasmere Road Blackpool FY1 5HP 01253 763414 ### Quick Links - [Ofsted](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/ofsted-and-school-performance) - [Calendar](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/calendar) - [Term Dates](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/term-dates) - [Uniform](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/school-uniform) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/revoelearningacademy) - [X](https://x.com/RevoeAcademy) ### Translation [![The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)](https://files.schudio.com/revoe-learning-academy/images/logo/SVT_logo_-_white_lettering(1).png)](https://theseaviewtrust.co.uk) © Copyright 2025–2026 Revoe Learning Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.revoelearningacademy.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
