School Transport
School bus passes can only be issued by the School Transport department at County Hall, by calling. 0116 305 7055. The school is not allowed to allocate students to buses.
Out-of-catchment students are advised to contact School Transport to assess their eligibility in the first instance.
Following the decision of the Local Authority to remove the 'frozen transport status' for Ashby School, a commercial bus service option has been arranged with Roberts Coaches to offer paid-for transport for those students affected by this decision. This will continue for the 2018/ 19 academic year.
Seats for these bus services can be arranged and paid for directly with Roberts Coaches. Please click here for further details.
A full range of payment options are available and full details of these, and costs for 2018/9 academic year, can be found here.

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.
Unfortunately, the school has been forced to review its transport policy due to financial constraints and is no longer able to offer free late transport to out of catchment students.
