Out of Catchment Buses
Out of catchment bus routes and pass details
If your son/daughter will be travelling on the SW1 & SW2 (Great Barford / Blunham / Sandy / Northwell / Ickwell / Upper Caldecote / Stanford) - you will need to purchase bus passes from Herberts Travel website: https://www.herbertstravel.co.uk/timetables
Barton Coaches will be running the SW3 from January on behalf of Samuel Whitbread and Robert Bloomfield Academy. The route and pick up times will stay the same, follow the link for the route details.
Rather than purchasing passes through the transport provider, you will need to purchase passes from the school through your Parentmail account.
We will produce and distribute passes when ordered. The pay as you go option will still be available at £2.50 each journey.
