Travelling Arrangements
Bicycles
Pupils who cycle to school should ideally have passed their Cycling Proficiency Test. Bicycles should be clearly marked, padlocked and kept in the place allocated in the cycle shed. (The school cannot, however, be responsible for their safety). Pupils may not cycle in the school grounds. We strongly recommend that all pupils who cycle to school wear a safety helmet.

Arriva Buses – Annual Student and Child Saver Tickets
They can be paid for by direct debit by the parent/carers, with the cost of an annual ticket spread over 12 monthly instalments. The direct debit can be stopped and recommenced at any time, with parents/carers not tied into a contract. Should parents / pupils experience issues with the service then a complaints and refund service is available through Arriva customer services.
The additional benefit of this ticket is that the student can use it evenings, weekends and during term holidays and can be used on our mobile M-Ticket app.

Car
If you bring your daughter to school, or collect her from school by car, please do not park or wait on Woods Avenue or use our gates as a turning area as we take the safety of our pupils extremely seriously. If you arrive early to pick up, please wait in the local public car parks which are a short and safe walk away from the school: Asda AL10 0JP; Links Drive AL10 8TZ or opposite Sir Philip Howard School.
Parents may use the drop-off area at the front of the school to drop-off their daughters in the morning. There is strictly no waiting or parking in this area as coaches also need access. For afternoon pick up please agree a safe meeting point with your daughter such as one of the local public carparks.
