TRAVELLING BY TRAIN A large number of Woldingham students and staff travel to school by train each day. Each morning, a member of staff acts as a train chaperone between Clapham Junction and Woldingham station, wearing a high vis Woldingham jacket so that students can easily spot them on the platform or on the train. On arrival at Woldingham station, staff escort students safely and efficiently onto our minibuses.

Our Transport Manager is kept informed of any train issues and will be aware of delays and cancellations. We suggest students have the school phone number - 01883 349431 - saved on their phone in case they are late for some unforeseen reason. They can call reception to arrange a minibus to pick them up from the station. Students should not walk to school from the station. Students who are late must sign in at reception before going to lessons.

Shuttle buses meet trains arriving between 07:30 and 08:20. They also take students to the station after school, picking up from Marden and the Millennium Centre between 16:00-18:45. Shuttle buses can be organised for other times, within school hours, by arrangement with year group staff. We ask for 48 hours’ notice, where possible. If, unavoidably, a shuttle is needed at short notice, please call reception who will be able to assist. Please do allow a minimum of 30 minutes.

SATURDAY TRAVEL Station shuttles for Saturday fixtures and events are pre-arranged by the school. In the unlikely event that a minibus isn’t at the station to meet your daughter on arrival, please call our school caretakers on 01883 654231.

TAXIS We offer a taxi booking service for parents to help manage the arrival and departure of your daughters. This is available via a web link on the Parent Portal app/website.

Taxis get booked up well in advance, particularly at half term and at the end of term. Please try to give plenty of notice for taxi bookings.
