IMPORTANT: Please visit Suffolk on Board for full details about SCC funded school travel as it is your NEAREST school (which may NOT be your CATCHMENT school) that you can have funded transport for.
We strongly recommend that you check which school is your nearest suitable school on Nearest School Checker because this might not be your catchment area school.
