Assemblies for KS3/4 / Spring Term Assembly Plans / Bus Safety Assembly

Bus Safety Assembly

This assembly resource on bus safety is to inform students about just how important staying safe on public transport is. It will tell them how independently using public transport is part of growing up, but highlight important points that are musts when using buses and trains.

The assembly plan and accompanying PowerPoint make use of videos and pictures to engage the students throughout. The PowerPoint makes use of facts that the pupils can read for themselves, reinforcing the whole idea of bus safety. The videos that are available use the example of two teenagers who were killed when they stepped off a bus in 2008, which will really catch the attention of the pupils. The assembly idea then goes on to include the students by asking them for suggestions of what will constitute to poor bus safety, before concluding with the key points students should consider.

Bus safety maybe something that students take for granted, but hopefully they will see more sense after this assembly is delivered. This assembly on public transport relates to the PSHE programme of study, and the ‘Stay Safe’ aspect of Every Child Matters.
