Why Scoot to School
Why it's better to scoot to school
  • Scooting can be faster than walking, more fun and healthier than coming by car
  • Scooting is green – scooters don’t pollute the air with exhaust fumes, the only energy they use is pupil power!
  • More children scooting or cycling to school will lead to improved health and fitness, reduced congestion and pollution around schools.
  • Pupils who scoot or cycle are more confident, more independent and perform better at school!
  • Scooting is fun, scooter travel is free, and parents can even join in – what more do you need!

How we can help more pupils scoot to school

Did you know over 1 million children scoot to school every day? As the UK's leading provider of scooters for children and adults we've made it our mission to get more children and their families scooting to school on 2 wheels.

Scooters for Schools

Get free scooters for your school with our Scooters for Schools team. It's an easy fundraising scheme for your school to get involved in that involves minimal admin and potential maximum revenue. Our most successful schools who take part in the scheme have earned enough to kit out a whole class with scooters and accessories.

Scoot Safe
As much as we believe scooting can transform everyday journeys into something remarkable and are passionate about more people doing, we also want to make sure they are doing so safely and responsibly. It is the reason we fund and run Scoot Safe scooter safety training sessions in schools and after school clubs up and down the country every day of the year. We also provide free advice for schools, teachers and parents with tips and advice on how to teach safe scooting skills.

Getting Serious about Active Travel
We passionately believe scooting can change the everyday. It has innumerable benefits on health, wellbeing as well as the environment we all live in. That is why we have put together a 4 part plan for schools and local councils to follow to encourage more active ways of travelling to and from school.
