Year 6 to 7 transition

Transport update

As in previous years, Year 6 in catchment children must apply to the county council for a pass – it will not be issued automatically.

Applications are now open and should be made as soon as possible.

The parents of all out-of-catchment students will be contacted separately about alternative paid-for bus options.
