Columbia Grange Primary, a co-educational school for children with pupils with severe learning difficulties and or autism in Tyne & Wear, has a new school bus.
The school relies heavily on having its own transport because it not only provides a home pick-up service for some of its 85 pupils, it also transports children from the surrounding main stream schools with special needs.
The bus which will also be used to take the pupils on outings to the Metrocentre, local parks and museums, has been donated by the north east branch of The Lord’s and Lady Taverners, a cricket club and charity founded to give children a sporting chance.
Head teacher, Katherine Elliott said: “Having this additional vehicle allows us to maximise the service we provide not only to the pupils who regularly attend the school but to those pupils and teaching staff from the surrounding schools who come to Columbia Grange to use the facilities and learn from our teaching methods. I can’t thank the Lord’s and Lady Taverners enough for this generous donation.”
