Cycle Permit Scheme
Offered free to Secondary Schools, the aim of this scheme is, not only to encourage pupils to cycle to school, but to use safe and well maintained bicycles.
This scheme involves our instructors visiting the school and checking the bicycles of pupils wishing to participate. Owners of bikes considered to be safe, at the time of checking, receive a disc permit. Discs are valid for a year. Owners of bicycles found to have faults receive a written report.
Holiday Courses
Both the Cycle Awareness and Cycle Skills courses are provided throughout the county during school holidays in the following areas:

All schools are offered training courses, run by Warwickshire Road Safety trained instructors. If your child's school does not offer cycle training, please contact them and express your interest in the service. Cycle training can not only increase safety, but by encouraging more pupils to cycle, can help reduce congestion around schools.

The Cycle Skills Course is aimed at pupils aged 8 years & over consists of 2 hours of training conducted off-road, and is designed to cover the following areas:-
- bicycle safety check
