PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Cycling: Curriculum (6 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department plans to introduce Bikeability training to the national curriculum.

Asked by:
Pippa Heylings (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Schools have the flexibility and discretion to decide on the activities they provide to deliver a rounded and enriching education, which includes programmes such as Bikeability. In 2023/24, £20 million in funding from Active Travel England supported nearly 500,000 training places, reaching 55% of year 6 students across 67% of primary schools. An additional £30 million has been committed for 2024/25.

The government has established an independent Curriculum and Assessment Review, covering ages 5 to 18. The review will seek to deliver a curriculum that ensures children and young people leave compulsory education ready for life and ready for work, building the knowledge, skills and attributes young people need to thrive.
