Day Pupils
Pupils travel to and from School by many means, and must remember that at all times they remain representatives and ambassadors for the School.
Walking and Cycling
Pupils are encouraged to walk and cycle to School where possible. If doing so, they should take due care and consideration on the roads, and make proper use of crossings where available. Cyclists should make use of appropriate safety equipment such as helmets, lights and reflective strips/clothing to help them remain safe on the roads.
School Buses
The School operates a range of bus routes to support parents in getting their children to and from School. To see our current availability and to make a booking, click on the navy “Local School Bus Bookings” button on the Portal homepage. We have created this ‘How to book a bus’ user guide with details on how to use the booking system.
Sixth Form Drivers
When under School responsibility, pupils must not be driven in a car by other pupils or by anyone under 21 unless exceptional circumstances arise. In such circumstances, parents of both the driver (in the case of pupils) and the passengers will need to give their permission to House staff for a specified journey before it can be authorised.
When under School responsibility, any pupil who wishes to be driven by anyone apart from his or her own parents needs to gain permission from a member of staff.
Those Sixth Formers who are legally able to and wish to drive to and from School (with or without a sibling) need to complete this form.
This ensures parental and House staff approval and involvement and also thereby contributes to general supervision and safety.
Pupils may not park in School grounds. Pupils who park in public areas should show respect and courtesy to local residents.
Boarders
Travel information for boarders can be found in our Boarding Handbook.
