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 point 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 transport@johntaylorfreeschool.co.uk
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, Diamond Buses provide home to school transport for our students.
From Sept 2024, there will be three through services; 831 from Hilton, 10 from Acorn Inn and 832 from Reservoir Road all going via Burton New Street. There is also a 10S route from the Acorn Inn / Henhurst Ridge / Wellington Street areas direct to school (not via Burton centre) for holders of a Staffordshire County Council issued bus pass. Full details of timings and routes etc can be found on the Diamond website.
For students living in Elford, Streethay and Fradley we are for this academic year providing a bespoke service with transport company Kura. If you have not already signed up for this service but would like information on how to apply for a space, please email the Transport Team on transport@johntaylorfreeschool.co.uk to register your interest and check availability
