A spokesperson from Charters School said: “This incident occurred back in March 2023 and has been resolved with the bus company and parents have been informed.”

People on social media took to the comments to voice their views on the video.

One user said: “Shocking, the pavement should never be mounted. Block the road rather than risk pedestrian safety.”
