Colchester County Girls Travel Options from Shenfield

[SD27]

We would be grateful if someone can advise us about the potential travel/transport options for travelling from Shenfield to Colchester County Girls.

Are there any CSSE or Private Coaches to Colchester County Girls school from Shenfield area?

Is Train travel from Shenfield station to Colchester station and then local bus to school a viable option or not?

Many thanks and kind regards

Lots of children take train from Shenfield to Colchester North or town. Then bus to school. I think thats the fastest way. Not sure how long it will take in coach. The distance is far.

All the CSSE administered bus routes are detailed in the Transport section on the CSSE website.

Hello. Hopefully my DD will get a place at start at Colchester girls in September. We also live in Brentwood but I work in Colchester. We would love to meet other local families who will also be going that direction. We have also manage to secure a pricate coach service to add a stop on the A12/Roman road to collect and drop off girls for the school. You are welcome to PM and to discuss. Good luck xx

Please see below our standard checklist when considering a car share:

• How much do you really know about this parent from a child safeguarding point of view? (Remember, anyone working with children, e.g. bus drivers for the school service, must have a current DBS form.)
• How much do you really know about their driving skills? Have you seen their insurance and car roadworthy details? (Remember that public transport and dedicated school services are required to have these, to a high level.)
• How would you cope if your child fell out with the other children in the car pool, or wanted to do different after school activities, or didn't want to stay after school when the other children were staying late?
• How would you cope if one of the other car pool parents had their car break down, or off the road for some other reason, at short notice?
• What if it's your turn to drive, and you or your child is sick?
• What if the other family turns out to be unreliable, or the driver/their child is regularly late, or ill?
• What if the other child moves to a different school?
• What if one child needs to stay after school for an activity or event?
• What if the driver smokes when driving?
• What if the driver's conversation turns out to be objectionable or age inappropriate?
