Stoke Newington Media arts college, participated through sessions in the area around the school - concentrating on areas to avoid and thinking about personal safety. |
| Advertising campaign | Haggerston girls school and participating students from other schools. A campaign managed by year 10 girls working with a graphic designer to run a competition to design posters. These were then shown on billboards and bus shelters in busy locations around the borough. Bikes were secured as prizes from Sainsburys. |
| Video consultation - a video to ascertain pupils concerns, views and suggestions for improved safety on their journey to school | Haggerston girls - piloted here, but became contentious due to an incident that occurred near the school. Governors vetoed viewing of resource. |
| Linking schools to bike shops | Letters sent to all bike shops proposing their inclusion in a project to promote cycling within the borough, each school being effectively linked to a nearby bike shop. Only received interest from London Fields Cycles who participated in a pilot several years ago with children visiting the shop and learning about cycling and cycle maintanence. |
| Cycle training - comprehensive cycle training programme - 2 instructors to 10 pupils, concentrating on the provision of 'on the road' training. First few sessions look at bike maintenance, control and safety, subsequent sessions on the road. |
