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 7055. 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 must contact Roberts Coaches by email at schools@robertstravelgroup.co.uk or by phone at 01530 816424.
Seats for these bus services can be arranged and paid for directly with Roberts Coaches. Please click here for further details.
For other routes (not offered by Roberts), parents should contact Stathams Coaches on 01530 260721. This includes routes from Huggelscote, Coalville and Ellistown.

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.
