The designated transport area for the school, Lincoln Castle Academy - Find a freedom of information request

Request

Could I also request the designated transport area for my school, Lincoln Castle Academy, as I suspect there may be some changes to our area with Nettleham no longer being on the transport list for William Farr

The DTA school for Nettleham is Cherry Willingham Priory Pembroke Academy, it has never been Welton William Farr, however some addresses in Nettleham have eligibility to Welton as they are closer to that school than they are to Cherry.

The policy is to provide transport to a school that is within the designated transport area (DTA) for the home address, or to a nearer school, provided the distance from home to school is over statutory walking distance
