Key Stage Three & Four

Key Stage Three

More independence means that young people will have to take responsibility and be able to make decisions.

Therefore, Key stage three road safety activites are directed at ensuring students have an awareness of the road safety dangers they may encounter on their journeys to and from school.

For infomation on planning safer school journeys, using public transport , safer cycling and in car safety please contact the Road Safety Officer.

The Road Safety Team is keen to enable teachers to fit road safety into other lessons For ideas and resources for embedding road safety into the school curriculm please use our contact form.

Preparing to learn to drive

As pupils reach the end of Key Stage Three, we are aware that many will be looking forward to learning to drive and becoming independant road users. In preperation we have devised a series of workshops designed to enlighten young people of the responsibilities and costs of becoming a driver.

To register an interest in running the workshop sessions at your school or youth club please contact the Road Safety Officer.

The Royal Borough runs a variety of road safety schemes most of which require volunteers to assist. Volunteering is a good way for Key Stage Four pupils to gain valuable work experience. We will provide training to all volunteers to allow them to participate.
