Getting to School Walking and Cycling Where possible, we hope that most children will walk or cycle to school. There is a secure area for bicycles. Children who cycle to school should wear a helmet and bring a bicycle lock. During the winter it is important that bicycles have appropriate lights. Public Transport The County Council have advised us that the children will need to purchase a Kent Freedom Pass. This will enable them to use the existing public bus services. For further information on the Kent Freedom Pass please visit http://www.kent.gov.uk. Traveline (www.traveline.info) is a dedicated local transport website. You will be able to input your location and your destination. All route options are displayed. The drop off point for most of the services is Trinity School. Go Coach provide a ‘link’ service between Knole Academy and Trinity School. If you have any questions about the local bus service in your area you can also contact the companies directly. Their contact numbers are as follows: Arriva: 0844 8004411 www.arrivabus.co.uk Go! Coach 01732 668090 www.go-coach.co.uk Nu Venture 01622 882288 www.nu-venture.co.uk Redroute 01474 353896 www.redroutebuses.co.uk Kent County Council will only provide transport to children who meet their school transport criteria. If you would like to be considered for transport under these terms you will need to apply to KCC transport department directly. Further information is available on the school website. Private Transport We understand that it will be necessary for some children to come to school by car. We would encourage parents to consider car sharing. Private cars are not permitted to drop off or collect from the car park nearest the school at any time. Please make use of the furthest car park, which is where the busses drop off. There is plenty of space, and means we avoid antagonising those who live near the school. If your child has a disability, please contact student services who will issue a permit. Design Technology
