WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL
Students who live in the village are encouraged to walk to school where parents feel they are safe to do so.
CYCLING TO AND FROM SCHOOL
We encourage our students to cycle to and from school. Parents should ensure their child is a safe cyclist, has passed the “Bikeability”, “Cycle Proficiency Test” or similar, and has rehearsed the route to school. Parents should ensure that cycles are road-worthy (fully operational brakes) and their child is wearing an appropriate cycle helmet. A secure cycle store is available where students can lock their bikes. This is located outside A Block. Unfortunately we cannot accept responsibility for any damage to cycles, nor do we accept any liability for any damage that may be caused by a student’s cycle.
BUS TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL
SCHOOL BUSES
Students who live within the catchment and are more than three miles from school as measured by Derbyshire County Council will receive a free bus pass – parents and carers must apply for these. The pass is only valid for the named route and must be shown to the driver when getting onto the bus before every journey. If a student lives less than three miles from school then they may still catch a bus, but will have to pay the usual fare. Contract buses are available to school students exclusively, whereas service buses may also be accessed by the public. The County Public Transport Unit will advise all families of necessary details.
The routes and times for contract busses are available below.
