Schools will have the choice to arrange your own transport or to request transport off us. Any transport organised by KSSP will be charged to the school. Transport is likely to work out between £85-£140 each depending on number of pick ups etc. We have currently reserved 4 double decker buses with the green bus company. (Please note some pick ups may be as early as 8.15am if we need to use the bus for a double run). If schools want to use their own mini bus (and potentially a taxi) there will be space to park buses on site.
