7. It’s considerate
8. It’s educational

10. It makes the street outside the school safe
MILFORD SCHOOL WALKING SCHOOL BUS ROUTES
We currently have 2 walking school buses in operation, and are desperately looking for new parents to share the walk with existing bus routes or taking on new ones.
Our current routes:
From Dallinghoe Crescent, along Wolsely, East Coast Road and then along Shakespeare.
And;
From Brook Street, Along Shakespeare Road.
If you feel you are able to walk a small group of children, even if only one morning or afternoon a week I would love to hear from you.
Better still, talk to your neighbours and organise for a group of parents to take turns to walk to school. You will have peace of mind knowing that your child is getting to school safely and it is a great way to get to know your neighbours!
