Transport
Bus Information
Instead of applying through Dorset Council, you must now buy a pass from the bus company directly on their website. Tickets/passes are allocated using the surplus seat scheme which allows any student (age 4 to 19), who is not entitled to free school transport, to use seats on existing school transport vehicles (charges will apply). The bus companies cannot guarantee a seat, so make sure you have alternative transport in place in case there are no seats available. The scheme does not apply to public service routes. Sixth Form students cannot use the school’s temporary bus pass system – if you have any concerns about travel please speak with Mr Waterman in the first instance.
As we are not involved in transport arrangements, you are advised to use the following to access further information:

Bursaries
The School provides a range of Bursaries to support those leaving Year 11 to stay on in education. There is the High Priority Bursary for those in Care, on Income support or Universal Credit and those disabled young people on Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance. There is also a Discretionary Bursary for low income families which can be used to contribute to the costs of the course as well as transport. For further information on Bursaries please click here.
