Out & About with East Park

East Park, a residential specialist school which provides education for children and young people with complex learning difficulties, is one of many schools which is enjoying new opportunities after purchasing an accessible minibus for their transport needs.

Based in Glasgow, East Park offers individualised educational programmes, specialised equipment and resources and an elaborated curriculum to offer high quality education for young people with learning difficulties, challenging behaviour or health needs.

East Park's Robert Baxter explains the difference their new minibus has made to the school.

“We have some children who attend the school that are wheelchair users so we coreally need a wheelchair accessible bus. There isn’t a day goes by that it isn’t needed."

Robert continued: "We take children on educational trips to museums and libraries and on social trips to horse riding centres and the swimming.

"The bus is also used on school holidays and for respite purposes. It’s a great asset to East Park.”

East Park's new minibus is a Peugeot Monarch, supplied by accessible transport builder Allied Vehicles. Allied is finding an increasing demand from schools throughout the UK for accessible vehicles such as the Peugeot Monarch, an exclusive adaptation of the Peugeot Boxer. These minibuses are ideal for providing accessible, safe and reliable transport for school trips and routine outings, adding to the overall quality of educational experience offered to pupils.
