Adaptability: Working with SEND Schools

About This Project

At Go Velo, we firmly believe everyone can benefit from cycle training, and we want children of all abilities to have this opportunity. We very much enjoy working with schools that specialise in providing education for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Our team of instructors is experienced in delivering cycle training to all abilities, and we work hard to make our sessions appeal to everyone who wants to be a part of them. Getting everyone involved, so that they feel they are getting something from the experience personally, is our aim.

We can adapt our training programmes for different requirements, including working with smaller groups, and offering shorter, more frequent sessions.

Getting to Know the Individual

For SEND children, it’s important to make sure the training works for them and their specific needs.

It’s also about recognising that it’s important for them to feel and be part of the wider world they live in.

Cycle training can help build their confidence, as well as give them fundamental bike skills. It offers them a practical, helpful way of accessing their surrounding community safely and becoming more active in it.

The Go Velo approach is to gain a clear understanding of each child’s individual needs, and to make sure that while training involves groups, it also focuses on the various abilities of everyone within these groups.

Lasting Benefits

The health benefits of inclusive cycle training are not just physical. It can impact positively on wellbeing, as well as helping SEND children develop essential life skills.

We think cycle training should leave a lasting legacy, for the children, their parents, and the school.

“Their enthusiasm was both contagious and inspiring. Children loved them, parents are grateful and we are all looking forward to the next teaching session.”
