Road safety in schools

Pedestrian training - Kerbcraft

Kerbcraft is a child pedestrian training scheme for children aged 5-7 years old, delivered in and around schools.

It focusses on three modules:

1. Crossing at a safer place
2. Crossing between parked cars
3. Crossing at junctions

Cycle training - National Standard Level 1 and 2

Cycle training levels 1 and 2 are aimed at Year 6 pupils and prepares them to become independent road users:

• level 1 takes place in an environment away from roads and traffic usually in the school playground
• level 2 takes place on local roads giving pupils a real cycling experience

Secondary schools

Secondary school assemblies and lessons provide pupils in Year 7 and 9 with road safety skills for choosing safer options when crossing roads and how to prepare for future independent travel.

Pupils in Year 11 and above are provided with pre-driver advice based on the Fatal 5: inappropriate speed; careless driving; drink/drug driving; risks associated using a hand-held device whilst driving; and the law relating to seat belts.
