►Travel to and from School
Bus
You will be informed in due course of the times and pick-up points of the school buses. The basic rules of road safety apply on the school drive, where pupils disembark, and zebra crossings have been installed.
Children who miss their bus home for any reason must report to the main school office, so that arrangements can be made to contact parents and make sure they get home safely.
Our bus service are able only to provide enough buses to transport those pupils who live more than 2 miles from the school.
It is expected by Barnsley LA that pupils living within 2 miles of the school will walk or use other transport.
Car
Parents who bring their children to school by car are respectfully asked to drop them off and pick them up outside the school gates in order to minimise the risk of accident. At all times of day visitors to the site are requested to drive with utmost care.
Bicycle
The school is working towards achieving healthy schools silver status involving the production of a school travel plan. One outcome of this will be the construction of new cycle storage facilities on the Willowgarth site.
The school no longer has facilities for pupils' cycles. In any case, given the heavy traffic before morning school and at 3.00pm, cycling on the site would be dangerous.
