School Transport

General Transport Information

School bus passes for catchment students can only be issued by the School Transport department at County Hall, by calling 0116 305 0002. The school is not allowed to allocate students to buses.

To find out if you are eligible for free school transport, contact passengertransport@leics.gov.uk

Out-of-catchment students can view home to school transport information on Roberts Travel Group website. On the site, you will find timetable information and prices for each of the nine services run by Roberts. These services cover many of the surrounding villages to Ashby School. Travel passes can be purchased online and various payment options are available.

Passes for the next academic year will go on sale around Easter as services do fill quickly. 

Details of any travel disruption, in the event of bad weather or driver shortages, will be posted on Roberts' Twitter account @Roberts_Travel.

Late buses

Late buses are available free of charge on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 4.30pm to provide transport to students living in catchment. 

Late buses allow students to take part in organised activities, revision classes, coursework support or private study/ homework after school. 

Due to financial constraints, the school is unfortunately not able to offer free late transport to out of catchment students.

What if I forget my bus pass?

If students forget their bus pass, they are able to obtain a temporary pass from the Year Room. Students requesting a temporary pass more than three times in a term will be charged £10 for a new pass.

Fee-paying students who lose their bus pass must contact Roberts directly by telephone or through the Roberts website to order a new one. Lost LCC passes for students entitled to free transport can be ordered through the Year Room.
