Travel

The school is situated about 15 minutes walk from Dover Town Centre and the South East Railway Station of Dover Priory.  Local bus routes pass the Barton Road entrance to the school, and Catholic  children are brought to the school by special contract buses from Deal, Folkestone, Hythe, Shepherdswell and  Aylesham.

Catholic pupils who live more than 3 miles away are entitled to full travelling expenses. Non-Catholic pupils may apply directly to the school for a Freedom Bus Pass.  At present a charge of £50 per year is made by Stage Coach East Kent Ltd.  These passes can be used all the time, not just during school hours, also for weekends and holidays,

Children from Catholic families who qualify for free travel to and from the school must first apply to the Area Education Office and then contact their Priest who is required to support their application for free travel.

Pupils over the age of sixteen are required to pay £320 per year towards the cost of their travel. This policy applies to all students in Kent who travel a distance greater than three miles.
