Key Stage 3 road safety resources

As children become independent road users, they need to understand the rules of the road and the choices they have when selecting modes of travel.

A range of Key Stage 3 resources are available from the Road Safety Unit to help with this:

Key Stage 3 Workshops

What's the story? "Julie"

An advertisement about seatbelts. This pack considers the wearing of a seatbelt as a back seat passenger. It looks at the consequences both for the individual but also for others in the car.

What's the story? "My House"

An advertisement about teenage behaviour on the road. This pack is concerned primarily with distraction , as the main character sees his friends across the road and runs to them without looking.

What's the story? "Texting"

An advertisement about the impact of mobile phones upon pedestrians. This pack looks at how using a mobile phone whilst as a pedestrian can be just as dangerous as using one whilst driving.

What's the story? "Scary Ride"

An advertisement about seatbelts. This pack focuses upon the wearing of seatbelts along with the importance of not distracting the driver, and driver concentration.

All of the above workshops are available free to secondary schools across the city of Wolverhampton.
