Travel
The college enjoys excellent access to Telford's road network and public transport and many of our students travel some distance daily. We take their safety and welfare very seriously.
When students travel to us in the morning we expect them to come straight onto the campus and stay until they leave at the end of the day. Students are only allowed to leave the college during the lunchtime at the discretion of the headteacher and only when they have good reason supported by a written request from their parents.
Members of staff are on duty before college begins and at the end of the day to supervise the safe arrival and departure of the students. Our Code of Conduct contains clear guidance on what is expected of students travelling to and from college.
Transport assistance
The transport policy of Telford and Wrekin Unitary Authority is that children at the college will receive full transport assistance of public services fares or equivalent if they have at least one parent who is Catholic and they live three miles or more from the college.
The transport policy of Shropshire County Council is that children at the college will receive full transport assistance of public services fares or equivalent if they have at least one parent who is Catholic and they live within sixteen miles of the college.
For those students who live beyond sixteen miles, providing that their primary school catchment area is within sixteen miles, they will receive full assistance for up to sixteen miles. It will be for parents to meet the cost of transport to the outer limit of the sixteen miles. Parents should contact the college if they have any queries about the transport policies of the local authorities.
