There are a range of ways to travel to the College including public transport services and  buses operated solely by Sir John Deane’s Sixth Form College.

Where possible we encourage you to walk, cycle or use the bus but students who wish to drive can apply for a permit to park their car on campus. There is no charge for this.

We may be able to help with the cost of travel to college via grants from the 16-19 Bursary Fund.

 

Parking Outside College

We are very mindful of the impact that traffic congestion around the College can have on the residents who live close by, particularly at the end of the day when parents may be waiting to pick up their son or daughter.  Please help us to minimise the impact on our neighbours by waiting in one of the car parks at the rear of the College rather than on Monarch Drive and the surrounding residential roads. If this is not possible, please be respectful to our neighbours and not park across driveways.

If you are in Year 11 and would like to express your interest in a seat on one of the  College buses for September 2025 please complete the form via the link below.

You are not reserving a seat or making a firm commitment at this stage, we will use the information you give to help with our planning. Upon completing this form you will be added onto a mailing list for your chosen bus route and we will send you an email during the summer term to let you know what steps you need to take to confirm your seat on the College bus.
