Denwell/Igobus Buses - Updated 23 February
It has come to our attention that the Igo Bus Company were unable to run their services this morning and it appears that services have ceased with immediate effect.
Though we appreciate that it is parents’ responsibility to arrange suitable transport to school, we have contacted other providers to ascertain what provision might be available for children and have the following information below. Though we cannot endorse other transport providers, we will endeavour to make further information available as and when we receive it and leave it up to parents to make direct contact with the companies as they choose based on the information we have received.
We have been told that there is a WhatsApp group set up by parents of Pates pupils relating to possible alternatives for those who used Igobus Route 7 (Whitminster); if you would be interested in joining this group, please email [email protected] and we can forward you details.

We build a sense of community and what it means to be a Richian right from a student’s very first visit to the School. Above all, we put the highest level of pastoral care at the heart of everything we do; we pride ourselves on our 'small school' ethos, and we work hard to get to know our pupils as individuals. Our aim is for every student to enjoy their time at Sir Thomas Rich’s, developing healthy, happy relationships with peers and adults which build self-confidence and resilience.
