British Schools Karting Championship
British Schools Karting Championship
The BSKC is an arrive & drive karting championship that allows students to take part in competitive karting no matter their ability. This often appeals to students that are not actively involved in more traditional school sports.
It is organised by the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC).
The championship brings the thrill of motorsport into your school without major expense and can provide a wide variety of opportunities to build the curriculum around the excitement and motivation of participatory motorsport.
The BSKC provides more than just a fun opportunity to race. The BSKC can enable your school to:
- Motivate students and staff - raised motivation = raised achievement
- Develop organisation, teamwork and management skills in students
- Bring STEM to life and enables you to bring real life STEM study into the core curriculum using the BSKC teacher support material
- Find and develop the hidden talents of the Gifted and Talented
- build an exciting and motivational curriculum project in Key Stage 3 using the BSKC curriculum kit
- Develop staff and student relationships through this unique competition
- Bring real motivation and the desire to learn to examination subjects using the BSKC examination projects
- Improve behaviour by developing the desire to learn through the motivation to be the best
Where possible the BSKC is designed so that students are not taken out of normal lessons. The early events are held in March after school. We also keep our paperwork to a minimum (we know how much you already have to do) and we will help with outside activities approval forms where we can.
Resources
Karting and motor sport in general are an educational gold mine. Many of the schools that participate use the BSKC to motivate students toward classroom achievement as well as reward those that have excelled. We have a wide range of different resources for you to use.
