SAFEMark is an awards scheme for secondary schools. It rewards schools for taking public transport seriously. Schools participating in SAFEMark enjoy benefits such as:
- improved behaviour on school buses and train journeys
- reduction in staff time spent reacting to problems
- productive partnerships with local bus companies
- raised pupil awareness of sustainable transport
SAFEMark schools sign-up to a set of agreed standards, such as using school bus monitors, while Metro provides a range of teaching resources and posters.
And for pupils moving to secondary school, who may be travelling on their own on the bus for the first time, travel training is available through Junior SAFEMark.
If you want your school to enjoy these benefits contact Metro on 0113 348 1122 for more information.
