The school is well served by local transport, both the normal service buses which run along Burnage Lane, Kingsway, and Mauldeth Road, and by special buses which leave for Longsight and Piccadilly.
The Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) 'Travelling to School' page has all the information you need about public transport services, tickets and passes, as well as latest dedicated travel advice for our school and tips around cycling and walking.

If you’re 11-16 years old, you’ll need an igo card to travel using child tickets on buses and trams in Greater Manchester. It can take up to two weeks to process your igo card application, so make sure you apply as soon as possible to ensure you can get child tickets.
Manchester City Council allows for the provision of free bus passes for some students. To check eligibility and to apply, see their website here.
We do our best to supervise students as they leave school but we ask that you impress upon your son the importance of abiding by the normal rules of safety when crossing the busy roads around the school.
TravelSafe
Make sure you travel to school on buses and trams safely and responsibly. TravelSafe Support and Enforcement Officers (TSEO’s) patrol the transport network to keep everyone safe and offer help if you need it.
Parking
With three schools in close proximity, we rely on our families to consider the safety of our wider community and respect for our neighbours. We ask families to consider the use of public transport or to have an arranged pick-up point away from the busiest section of Burnage Lane.
Parking restrictions are in place and we urge parents and carers to adhere to these.
School staff may ask drivers to move vehicles that are parked unsafely.
