Planning your journey

Simply enter your school’s name, your home postcode and journey time to find your bus and Metro options. Bus times are Real-Time where available – which means it’s the time the bus is expected to actually leave your stop.

· Or, if you know the number of the bus you need, click here to find the timetable.

Tickets and passes.
· Get your Under 16 Pop card to save money on child fares.

Getting help
· Call Nexus Customer Services on 0191 20 20 747 for all public transport advice and information or send them a query here.
· School Travel Fact File, attached, about getting to school by public transport. It’s aimed at Year 6 pupils, and children moving to middle or high school, but is useful for all pupils who are planning to travel independently.
Dear Parents & Carers,
If you have a child who has recently received an Autism diagnosis or received an Autism diagnosis some time ago, but you haven’t yet attended a support programme, please make note of the following:
EarlyBird, EarlyBird Plus and Teen Life are excellent and easily accessible programmes that assist you to develop a tool-kit of strategies that will enable you to support your child. Working along side other parents, carers and school staff (where they are able to attend), you will receive invaluable opportunities to share your experiences and pick up some ‘Top Tips’ along the way.
If you would like to attend, but a little worried about making that first step, please just get in touch with me and I will support you with this.
Please remember that this course is for the parents and carers of those children who have already received an Autism diagnosis.
Have a wonderful half-term break.
Ms Donkin

Well done to all the children who achieved 100% attendance for last week.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. It’s a chance to think about our mental health and what we can do to protect it.
The place where we go to for comfort and to feel calm is very important as it often helps us to feel better when we are experiencing worries.
Where is your ‘happy place?’ At the beach listening to the waves, walking in the woods, cooking something delicious, spending time with your family, walking the dog?
We would love you to send us some photographs throughout this week showing us the places that make you and your child feel happy and calm.
