Bikeability
Schools in Stoke can request free Bikeability training.

Some of the benefits of a child cycling to and from school:

  • Quieter, safer roads - having fewer cars around school makes it safer for parents and children to walk or cycle on their journey to and from school.

  • Fitness and health - children need at least an hour of physical activity each day, and walking or cycling to school is a great way to get some of that exercise.

  • Improved Air Quality - there are also concerns about the level of pollution children are exposed to when sitting inside cars in congested or slow-moving traffic. When planning a cycling journey to school, it may be possible to find a route that is quiet or traffic-free, and cycling through green spaces such as parks can make you feel calmer and happier

  • Concentration at school - children who are physically active on the way to school burn off some of their excess energy and are more able to settle down and focus well in lessons

  • Road-safety skills - Teaching children to cycle safely to school will stand them in good stead for the rest of their life and help when they become drivers

  • Socialising and independence - cycling together with others will enable children to have extra time in the day to build friendships and feel comfortable around other people
