STUDENT TRANSPORT TO ALL HALLOWS CATHOLIC COLLEGE 2013-14 New Freedoms Continue to Improve Transport to All Hallows All Hallows Catholic College has managed to secure a better and more efficient student transport service despite the withdrawal of local authority subsidies and local authority commissioning. This is the second year of our new system with Bostock’s proving to be a highly efficient and very flexible service, responding to new needs and opening up new routes. In order to maintain reasonable costs for families, our voluntary academy budget is currently making a direct investment of over £60,000 per annum to the transport in order to make it possible to travel to and from All Hallows for less than £2.50 per day. This is one of the lowest home-to-school transport charges in the area and, with concessions for siblings (10%) and Families who have been or are in receipt of Free Schools Meals (in the last six years), cost should be no bar to young people being able to attend our outstanding Catholic college. These costs, together with an open availability of seats, mean that all children have equal access to All Hallows irrespective of faith background or previous school attended. This service has been made possible with the support of the governors of college in the form of subsidies and a special partnership with Bostocks coaches who have registered the routes as commercial services. The college is experiencing improved recruitment from Poynton, Wilmslow, Congleton and other areas such as Hazel Grove and Stockport and welcomes applications from all parents seeking a Church school education for their children. The dedicated service from the Langley and Sutton side of Macclesfield has proven very popular in it’s first year of operation and we are hopeful that the new AH6 and 7 route will be equally popular as Marton, Siddington, and Wincle gain easier access. Additionally, in order to encourage a 100% transfer of students from our traditional Catholic partner schools in Handforth (St Benedict’s), Poynton (St Paul’s) and Congleton (St Mary’s), Y6 parents should note that they will receive a re-embursement of transport fees at the end of Y7 in order to assist with the second year of transport costs. Families wishing to use the services should contact Bostocks coaches directly, and the college finance office if FSM concessions are required.

Message from our partners Bostocks Coaches School Service Routes September 2013 We have reviewed the home to school travel arrangements for the new school year, based upon the needs of existing students and the wishes of the College to develop transport solutions for key feeder Primary schools for the future. AH1 to AH4 remain broadly the same, but the routes from the south of the College have been changed to cover a greater geographical area and an additional service AH7 has been introduced to offer transport from Wincle. All services will be operated with vehicles fitted with seatbelts to offer a high quality, safe and secure environment for the children. All drivers will have been cleared through an enhanced CRB check. The pricing on the routes has been rationalised as follows: £ 3.00 Daily return fare £ 2.00 Daily single fare £ 412.00 Annual Travel Pass – Single Payment £ 430.00 Annual Travel Pass – Three staged payments of £160, £160 & £110 We can accept cheques or cash payment at our Bostocks Coaches offices in Macclesfield or Congleton or we are able to take credit card or paypal payments both of which will attract a small administration charge. Families with more than one child travelling on these routes will attract a discount of 10%, for the second and subsequent children, provided they are purchasing annual passes. Forms to apply for annual passes and family discounts will be available on our website listed below. If you require information from the College regarding Hardship Transport Assistance please look for details on the College website. Up to date information and detail maps of the routes operated by Bostocks Coaches may be downloaded from All Hallows website. www.allhallows.org.uk or from our own head office website at www.holmeswood.uk.com and follow the link for All Hallows. Parents should feel free to request additional stops along these routes if necessary. We look forward to working with the College and parents to provide a safe, secure and professional service and will introduce any changes that are necessary in the future to maintain a high level of service to all our customers.
