During their activity week the Year 6 pupils had the chance to take on the Olympic BMX and mountain bike tracks. Having taking part in a range of cycling challenges over the last two years (cycle club, Bikeability and the Redbridge cycle track) the children were very keen to test their skills on a high quality track.
The jumps and slopes on the BMX track were huge! At first I was extremely nervous, but I listened carefully to the BMX coach - keep my pedals level - and I was able to complete it.

We believe that it is important to give the More Able pupils a chance to show their skills and test themselves in a variety of contexts. Our curriculum is designed to be much more than the core subjects so that all pupils feel excited about coming to school and all have the chance to showcase what they are good at. The Olympic park is an incredible arena for that.
It was a real challenge for the children. Even the most confident cyclists were challenged by the courses and had to take care as they navigated the different bumps and turns. However the adrenaline rush they got having completed the course more than made up for any nerves they may have felt.
