Bike It School Mark
"The Bike It School Mark will engage and reward schools that really work to build a durable cycling culture." Phillip Darnton, Bicycle Association.
We need Bike It to become a way of life in every school, which is where the School Mark comes in. With its structured Bronze, Silver and Gold awards to work towards, this support framework will ensure that Bike It's positive effects continue long after a school's Bike It officer has moved on.
You must be a Bike It school to take part. Simply talk to your Bike It officer to get the ball rolling and soon, you could have an impressive Bike It School Mark plaque to prove your school's dedication to truly sustainable school travel.
What does each stage involve?
The Bronze School Mark
Will be awarded to schools that work in partnership with their Bike It officer to bring about some organisational, cultural and behavioural changes that help to support pupils in cycling to school.
The Silver School Mark
Will be awarded to a school that continues to demonstrate its commitment to the ideals of the Bike It project, but with more of the energy and resources coming from within the school and its community.
The Gold School Mark
Will be awarded to a school that has demonstrated ongoing commitment to the project over several years which has led to significant and lasting organisational, cultural and behavioural changes, and where the school is continuing with little or no input from the Bike It officer.
