Saint White's School, Ruspidge, Forest of Dean
Saint White's School is located on the Southern side of Saint White's Road and extends round the corner (far distance of the photo) into Buckshaft where it continues - thus forming an L-shape. The school has spread to the other side of the road in Buckshaft. This forces a very careful transfer of pupils across Buckshaft when they move from one part of the school to the other.
