Welcome
Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you for taking the time to look at our School Transport and Travel Guide for the 2024-2025 academic year. We have produced this little guide in order to communicate the wide range of travel options available to our students here at Sheffield High School for Girls. Some of the bus routes are operated in-house, using our minibuses or contractors, and others are operated by neighbouring schools or external coach operators. Where possible drivers are allocated to the same route every day, which allows both you and your daughter to get to know the driver on your route.
We do contact all of the operators regularly to ensure that the information in this booklet is as up to date as it can be.
I very much hope that you are able to find a travel solution that works for your family. If you need any further assistance planning your daughter’s journey to school, or you would like to discuss travel options from areas not currently served by our school bus service, please contact the school on enquiries@she.gdst.net and we will be pleased to assist.
I would like to wish your daughter a pleasant and successful academic year.
Kind Regards
Iain Kane Director of Finance and Operations
