Although many of our students live within the local area and cycle and walk to school, a large number travel to school by bus or car from all over the Bournemouth conurbation and from further afield in Poole, Dorset and West Hampshire. These parents accept responsibility for their child's daily travelling arrangements to and from school, including any costs incurred.
Bicycles
Students who cycle to school are able to secure their bicycles in the ‘bike shed’. We recommend that students always wear a cycle helmet and bring a padlock and chain to secure their bicycle.
