SEN Cycling

The Loyne Specialist School, Lancaster

“We wanted to write and say thank you for all your hard work with teaching our students, leading bike rides, advising us on new bikes and of course training the staff. It’s been absolutely fabulous to have such a great emphasis on bike riding this past year. We are really very very grateful to you. You’ve been brilliant with our students.

“At the Loyne Specialist School, children have a range of disabilities and learning difficulties. Many of these pupils experience some difficulties with balance and coordination and take longer than usual to learn to ride a bicycle. Annie has provided weekly sessions to help identified pupils learn the skills of riding a two wheeled bicycle. She has also delivered a training session for adults to provide interested staff with the skills in supporting pupils in learning to ride two-wheelers.

“At the Loyne we now have a huge cohort of cyclists at all levels. This has meant that Annie has been able to lead different ability groups out on half day and full day cycle rides within the local vicinity.”

Pedal & Scoot delivered weekly sessions at the Loyne School for over a year, from 2013 -2014.  For more details about Pedal & Scoot activities, please visit our schools page.
