Termly passes need to be booked in advance of each academic year. Single trip tickets can be purchased at least one day in advance from the Main School Reception. Charges for termly passes and single trip tickets will be added to your next term’s fee bill.

For students in Year 11 and Year 13, a 50% reduction will be given on the termly pass charge during the Summer Term because of public examinations.
