Scooter smart
Scooter Smart is a project aimed at providing children with the confidence and skills to use a scooter as a mode of travel, particularly as a way of encouraging scooting as an alternative to the car and as a healthier way to travel to school.
As part of their school travel plan, children took part in a Scooter Smart training day to introduce and develop skills to encourage them to scoot to school.
A survey from parents and children about their usual modes of travel and their views on scooting to school were very encouraging.
The survey told us that usually around 44 per cent of pupils arrive by car but on the scooter day this decreased to 33 per cent.
Parents and children also reported increased confidence and road safety skills as a result of the Scooter Smart day and that they would like more opportunities to scoot to school.
