PUPILS at a Worcester school have been learning how to ride balance bikes.

Children at Perdiswell Primary in Bilford Road enjoyed the training as part of a pilot scheme offered by Worcestershire County Council.

The school said the sessions had proved very popular with the children who learned quickly and enjoyed them.

Jo Cheyne, early years leader, said: "This has been a marvellous opportunity for the children to develop basic cycling skills.

"They have really enjoyed it."

The scheme has been rolled out to different schools in the county and the results will be evaluated this month.
