During the winter months please ensure your child dresses according to the weather conditions. Some of our pupils wait for their school bus in exposed areas so it is imperative that they dress for the weather. Also, during bad weather, there may be instances when school transport is delayed. I will put messages out via Facebook and ParentMail of any notifications I receive but please remind pupils that they must remain at their boarding point as the bus will turn up.

If you live outside the catchment area for Nelson Thomlinson School, parents/carers are responsible for their child’s transport arrangements. Cumberland Council operate a spare seat scheme for 6^th Form pupils.  You will need to make an application for this via their website.  It must be stressed that, until you are advised by Cumberland Council that a seat is available, you must make appropriate arrangements to get your child to school.

If you have any queries regarding school transport please contact Dawn Richmond – 016973 42160, transport@nts.cumbria.sch.uk
