Travelling Safely

To achieve a SAFEMark award, school must sign up to a set of agreed standards, such as using school bus monitors, while Metro provides a range of free teaching resources and posters.

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.

Junior SAFEMark

SAFEMark also provides travel training, for those pupils making the transition to secondary school and using buses on their own for the first time. 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.
