The London Paralympic Games take place from 29 August – 9 September. This will have implications for travel to Westminster since it will be one of the most visited areas during the Games. The School is working closely with TfL and Westminster City Council and will publish appropriate advice when the Paralympic Games transport planning is completed early in 2012. This advice might affect the times when boarders will be able to bring their possessions in to the School.

Travel arrangements that might involve such a request should not be made until permission has been given.
