MGS is a truly regional school, educating boys from as far afield as Liverpool, Sheffield, Preston, Congleton and North Wales, alongside those pupils who travel to us from more local areas.
The School currently operates three shuttle bus services.The first provides a quick and easy link with Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria train stations. The second shuttle travels from Hazel Grove, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle and Didsbury.The third shuttle travels from Timperley, Hale and Altrincham, through Didsbury.
Chorlton (Belle Vue Coaches) Knutsford (Bullocks Coaches) All shuttles are accommodated in our bus park within the School site. In July each year we hold a ‘trial run’ of the services to allow parents and son the chance to travel together to familiarise themselves with the routes. The School has a dedicated Transport Co-ordinator, who can be contacted by prospective parents to advise on the best method of travelling into MGS. Please e-mail transport@mgs.org to seek further information. Late services run on the majority of routes to allow pupils to take part in the numerous co-curricular opportunities that take place after school. We recognise that the travel arrangements for their child can cause parents some initial uncertainty and therefore to make the journey easier we operate a Friends Scheme, using current pupils as contacts for new boys. This provides a reassurance for new starters as they are looked after on their travel by older pupils. Matches are made by postcode so that new pupils are able to confide in and benefit from the experience of those from similar areas.
