Getting to School
With all of the options below, we discourage parents from driving students to school. If this is essential, there is a Pick Up Drop Off (PUDO) area opposite the school gate which we ask parents to use sensibly and with consideration for students and other parents. Under no circumstances should parents park on Branston Road on the approach to the school.
For more information surrounding transport, please email [email protected]
We encourage the use of walking and cycling, as the main mode of transport, as much as possible. Where students can, they should walk or cycle to school. We have large bike racks where students can store their bikes during the day. If they are cycling to school, the bike must be roadworthy, with lights and a cycle helmet must be worn.
Where walking or cycling is not an option, Staffordshire County Council and Diamond Buses provide home to school transport for our students:
Staffordshire County Council – BusLink
- Route 10S – Staffordshire County Council issued passes accepted free for travel on route number shown: This route will continue on the same route as last year, but will be operated by a new provider. Please note that times have changed slightly – details can be found here: Service 10S
- Route 832 – Staffordshire County Council issued passes accepted free for travel on route number shown: This route will continue on the same route as last year, but will be operated by a new provider. Please note that times have changed slightly – details can be found here: Service 832
Diamond Buses
- Route 10 – This is a public bus and available for all paying passengers: This route will continue on the same route as last year. Timings remain the same and details can be found here: Route 10
- Route 831 – This is a public bus and available for all paying passengers: This route was originally planned by Diamond to be re-routed from September via Beam Hill, Calais Road and Dallow Street. However, due to the decision by Staffordshire County Council in July to change the bus provider for the routes 10 and 832 above, this decision has been changed, and so the route will continue as it was for last year. Anyone travelling from these areas will need to get connecting services into New Street as previously in order to get one of the 2 services coming out to the school. Timings remain the same and details can be found here: Route 831
Note – due to the opening of the rail bridge in Branston, from September both the 10 and 831 will come out to the school from central Burton via Burton Road, Branston as shown on the Diamond Bus website links above.
Full details of timings and routes etc can be found on the Diamond website.
Fares and how to use the M-Tickets for the Diamond Bus services are available on the Diamond Bus website and here:
