Wim Chalmet at Golspie High School has been doing some great work introducing alternative activities in PE. I am really impressed with how he is taking mountain biking forward. The video below shows some of the highlights thus far.

Pastures New
Posted by drilly on May 28, 2008
Life has been hectic since I returned to Banchory Academy
but I must admit it is great to be back at school. However I knew I would be wanting to seek out new challenges after my secondment with Learning and Teaching Scotland
Well I have got my wish as this week I was successful in gaining a Deputy Head post in Ellon Academy. Hopefully I will be able to take up the post at the beginning of the new school session.

Cycle Friendly Schools Award (Primary)
Posted by drilly on May 28, 2008
Cycling Scotland recently launched the Cycle Friendly schools award for primary schools. The aim of the new scheme is to encourage cycling as part of the whole school culture and contribute to increasing the number of children cycling to and at school. The Award is part of a whole school approach to cycling which can contribute to health promoting school and Eco-School initiatives. Additionally, the scheme links directly with cycle training that is offered at school in particular the Scottish Cycle Training Scheme and Cycling Scotland’s Ready Steady Bike and Go ByCycle programmes.
