As part of our commitment to the environment, we are very keen to promote sustainable travel to and from the school site. Mangrove Road is narrow and prone to becoming congested at peak times.
A walking bus operates each morning from London Road car park up to the school: please see the information below.
A permit scheme is also in operation to allow parents to use the London Road car park.
Parents should not drop off or pick up from the school site.
Please note that there is no parking on site for sixth form students.
We have been fortunate to work with East Herts District Council to alleviate the traffic issues around the school site. Parents can drop off and pick up using the Old London Road car park (next to the fire station) The free half hour parking has been extended to one hour (both morning and afternoon) to give parents sufficient time to walk to and from the school, especially with younger siblings.
For students travelling to school by train, there are a variety of dedicated season tickets that they can apply for through Greater Anglia. More details can be found on their website https://railplus.greateranglia.co.uk/ and in the attached flyer.
