Schoolways

Safe routes mapping for your school community

Schoolways gives pupils, parents and school staff a simple, anonymous way to share how their journeys feel, including any barriers along the way - helping schools and local partners see where change could make the biggest difference and monitor perception change over time.

The government's national target: Third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, June 2026 (England)

"Giving children the freedom to walk, wheel and cycle in early life will set habits and deliver health benefits for generations to come."

UK Government, CWIS3

Councils are now expected to deliver this change and prove it. Love to Ride | Schools gives you the platform to make it happen and the insight to show it's working.

ONE PLATFORM, EVERY SCHOOL

Every council has a mix. Some schools already do a lot of active travel, and others have barely started.

One platform for your whole schools network or school clusters - as few or as many as you wish. Get more children walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling, and see exactly what’s changing, school by school, year round.

Schools already doing lots

Connect it all.

Bring existing programmes, events and initiatives into one view, with consistent data across your network. You finally see the full impact of what you're already funding and have an option to add one or two challenges to meet your local needs.

Schools just getting started

Create more.

Ready-to-run challenges give these schools an easy, fun way in, with no extra work for their staff or your team. Light lift, big impact, new insights.

It works alongside your existing programmes. It doesn’t replace them.
