Secondary school road safety

Road Safety Scotland’s Learning Zone features lots of information aimed at children and young adults of all ages.

S1 to S3 - Your Call

Materials for the third and fourth stages of Curriculum for Excellence (S1,S2, S3) centre around ‘Your Call’.

Your Call targets that ‘at-risk’ age group with a range of interactive activities which explore risk taking, decision making, personal safety, pre-driver attitudes, and peer pressure. Pupils are actively encouraged to discuss and share experiences, reflect and challenge their behaviour to take responsibility for their safety and that of others.

S4 to S6 - Crash Magnets

For the Senior phase (S4, S5, S6) ‘Crash Magnets’ material allows young people aged 14-17 to engage with road safety messaging.

Crash Magnets seeks to engage pupils by making this subject relevant to their lives and experiences. Activities employ critical thinking skills, discussion and debate, and self-reflection. It also advises and informs young people of the law and rules of the road.

The New drivers area also provides more information on pre-driving, passing your test and owning your first car. It offers practical advice and instruction on roads and their associated laws, using language and terminology that is easy to digest.
