Charlton School in Wellington said it will continue to challenge the decision by Telford & Wrekin Council.
"This is not a change that the school has been involved in making and one that we have expressed our concerns about. "Under Department for Education guidelines, the local authority are able to make these changes and there is no requirement to provide a dedicated coach service or for consultation to take place about any changes."
Conservative Councillor Stephen Bentley, who represents Ercall Magna, criticised the move and the way it had been handled. “I urge all of those affected to make their views known to Telford & Wrekin Council so that the views of schools and parents alike can be properly taken into account.” But, he said, the dedicated bus was 'no longer needed' because the journey can be made on public transport.
