Cycling Proficiency Year 6 children have the opportunity to take the Cycling Proficiency test. This is run in the summer term by members of staff and volunteers from the Governing Body who have received training from the West Berkshire Cycling Proficiency Team. Children take a written assessment as well as a practical test, and those who pass receive a certificate. In the interest of safety, we prefer children not to cycle to school. Secure storage for bicycles is not available.
Educational Visits and Activities All classes undertake educational visits. These range from a half-day outing to a local site, to a week long visit to somewhere further afield. The governors' policy with regard to charging for activities within school is made in accordance with the requirements of the 1988 Education Act. This states that a voluntary contribution may be requested for such activities. All educational visits are organised with the intention of reinforcing the National Curriculum and adding to the overall development of the child. Consequently preparations for the visit and follow-up activities are given a high priority.
