SDNPA Travel Grant Scheme

BN postcode area map
Not a single school in BN5, BN6, BN44, or BN45 is included in the scheme.
“Feedback from our recent schools survey identified that one of the key barriers to schools accessing outdoor learning opportunities within the National Park is the cost of travel to sites. To address this issue we are delighted to announce the launch of a new Travel Grant Scheme aimed at schools within our more deprived communities in and around the National Park. This scheme aims to reduce this barrier and encourage more young people to have access to the fantastic opportunities for outdoor learning provide within the South Downs National Park, and to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the developing South Downs Curriculum.” [SDNPA]

Pupils at Albourne Primary, Ashurst Primary, the Good Start, Lancing College, St. Peter’s Henfield, Shoreham College, Steyning Grammar, the Towers, Upper Beeding Primary, and others are not eligible for this scheme.

“Between September 2012 and October this year, 11,301 drivers were fined after speeding along the 40mph Handcross to Warninglid section of the trunk road. .. The area is policed by hi-tech speed cameras, which are able to read number plates and allow any offence to be processed within a matter of days — far faster than ever before.”
