Travelling To School

As the days get shorter parents are asked to consider the safety of their children as they travel to and from school. 

The College has updated its risk assessment on the bus service to and from school which you will find here.  It now includes a section on safety to and from the bus stop.  Parents are asked to review this document and to discuss with their children, how to keep safe.
