School Travel

School Bus

Three school buses run daily to transport pupils to and from the school.

One bus runs from the village of Kirdford and a second bus travels from Ifold.

There is a minibus, provided by Surrey County Council, which runs between Dunsfold and the school each day.

Details of the routes and timings are available from the County Transport Office (see below). School staff meet the buses on arrival at the school and children are supervised as they board the bus at the end of the day. Parents are encouraged to make use of this facility to reduce congestion at the front of the school and to reduce car usage.

All pupils who use the bus must wear seat belts at all times. They must stay in their seat until they reach their stop. If pupils compromise their safety or the safety of others on the bus, parents will be informed and they may be asked to find an alternative way of travelling to and from school.

Transport matters for children attending this school are dealt with by the Transport Office based in County Hall, Chichester, PO19 1RF.

Driving

We encourage parents to walk or cycle with their child if possible to help lessen road congestion around the school. We understand this is not always possible and during these times we urge parents to park a small distance from the school and walk children in. We also operate an unofficial one way system during drop off and pick up times. This runs from the Sun Inn/Church end of Loxwood Road and heads toward Plaistow Village Stores. The aim is to allow the constant flow of traffic moving in the same direction.

Walking & cycling

Our preference for those children who are able is to either walk or cycle to school. To encourage this we have a small bike stand at the front of the school which is available to lock bikes to for the duration of the school day. Scooters are also welcome to lock up here.
