The 'Racing to School' Education Programme engages young people at racing-related venues. Each young person is given a workbook that focuses on numeracy and literacy and contains a range of resources that supports the delivery of interactive and outdoor learning. The pupils and teachers are encouraged to continue working with the racing-themed books back in school.

For secondary school pupils, it also offers support to schools in their careers education provision by raising awareness of the career opportunities racing has to offer. This work engages a range of practitioners to give insight and advice to young people.
