Streetwise
The aim of the Streetwise initiative is to raise awareness of road safety to ensure that children have the skills needed to travel safely to their secondary school as well as encouraging independence and active travel. Training is provided to year 6 pupils across Cardiff.

Independent Travel Training
The Independent Travel Training Scheme (ITTS) aims to give pupils with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) the key skills and confidence to travel around the city independently, using public transport. The scheme is funded by the Welsh Government and focuses on providing free one to one training to encourage ALN pupils to use public transport to travel to and from school.
