Scooter Training (R4)

Scooter training is a fun way for pupils to learn how to scoot safely and confidently on short journeys. It helps boost scooting rates to school, supports physical development, and encourages active travel. Scooting is compact and convenient—perfect for families who want to ‘scoot from the boot’ and add an active stage to car journeys.

Pedestrian Skills (R5)

Teaching pedestrian skills enhances children’s safety and confidence while traveling, and involving parents and carers strengthens the connection between school and home learning. Training can include workshops with external partners, classroom activities, and guided walks to explore local roads and crossing points.

Pupils Monitoring Traffic (R14)

Monitoring traffic for their school’s travel plan can be an exciting and educational activity for children, fostering a sense of responsibility, community engagement, and the development of communication and leadership skills.

Road Safety Day/Week (R18)

Road Safety Day/Week is a great opportunity for the whole school community to focus on staying safe in and around roads through fun, engaging activities. Whether walking, cycling, or travelling by car or bus, it’s a chance to highlight how small choices can make every journey safer for pupils, staff, and families.
