FUNDED SCHOOL TRANSPORT WATTISHAM SFA TO RINGSHALL SCHOOL

You will by now, hopefully, be aware the Suffolk County Council have reviewed their decision on the walking route for pupils attending Ringshall Primary School from Wattisham SFA, determining that two elements of the route, highlighted below, are now deemed unsafe.

Pupils without a pass can apply for travel at: www. suffolkonboard.com/optin, SCC will advise families if they are eligible, and they can then need to upload a photo for the bus pass.

The Station would like to thank the many individuals and organisations that supported our families in securing this long fought, just, outcome, not least; Maj Chris Pickett (for raising awareness and initiating the case with SCC in 2019), James Gough, Headteacher Ringshall Primary School, the School Governors and Lee Holloway, the Suffolk Armed Forces Commissioner.
