Travel to / from school

Cycling

We encourage Laurus Cheadle Hulme students to cycle to and from school. For more information about the benefits of cycling and how to ride safely, please visit the Transport for Greater Manchester website here: tfgm.com/cycling

All students should ensure their bike is roadworthy, and that they are wearing suitable safety accessories and helmet.

Students should always follow The Highway Code.

Bus service

Our School Bus Service is operated though Transport for Greater Manchester (TGFM).

Please consider whether your child can walk or cycle to school – it can be a safe and healthy way for pupils to make shorter trips. New cycling and walking routes have been put in place across the region to make it safer and easier than ever to get about on foot or by bike.

When travelling to school your child should check timetables in advance, allow extra time for their journeys in case their first service is full and be patient with other passengers.

Children aged 11 to 16 must have an igo card to travel using a child ticket on buses in Greater Manchester. It can also be used as proof of age for travelling by tram, and child Metrolink tickets are available for igo online at getmethere.com.

If you have to drive your child to school and/or pick them up, please switch off your engine when waiting outside to reduce air pollution and consider parking further away and walking the last part of your journey.

For the latest information on timetables, tickets, and further advice on cycling and walking, visit TfGM’s Back to School hub at tfgm.com/schools.

If children need to use both Stagecoach and Bellevue’s school services, they need to buy TfGM’s weekly school ticket or a TfGM school return ticket. Both tickets are available from the driver. Operator-own tickets are ONLY valid on that operator’s services. Alternatively, if children also use buses outside of school times, they may want to buy a System One ticket which are valid on all operators’ services. You can find full details here systemonetravel.co.uk.
