The Level 3 course equips participants with the skills needed to stay safe in more challenging urban situations. This advanced course leads on from Level 1 & 2 Bikeability, which pupils usually complete at primary school, and teaches how to ride and navigate complex roads and respond confidently. The course was aimed specifically at Year 7 and 8 pupils, with the practical course taking place on roads in the local area, under supervision. The course was 2 hours in duration and pupils learned to: • Prepare for a journey • Understand advanced road positions • Pass queuing traffic • Perceive and deal with hazards • Understand driver blind spots • React to hazardous road surfaces • Navigate roundabouts • Understand multi-lane roads and • Traffic lights Well done to the pupils that took part: Harriet H, Layla H, Chloe R, Caleb H, Corbyn H, Caitlin P, Ellis T, Seth L, Tom M, Cavan C, Declan D, Christopher C [PE & Sport](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/pe-sport) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [ Join us for girls indoor cricket](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2021-11-04-join-us-for-girls-indoor-cricket) [Priory addresses gender disparity in ICT ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2021-11-08-priory-addresses-gender-disparity-in-ict) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
