Bus and coach transport information
Wolverhampton Grammar School operates its own private transport service across the West Midlands and in from the surrounding counties of Staffordshire and Shropshire. The school is also well served by public transport.
The school operates its own bus and coach services in collaboration with Hills Coaches. Transport is provided every day during term-time (excluding induction days). Parents are asked to ensure that their child is ready at the bus stop ten minutes before the times indicated on the routes.
Tickets may be purchased as a termly pass for both mornings and evenings, as a morning or evening termly pass, or as single trip tickets for ad hoc journeys. A daily travel service booking form must be completed for all types of tickets. This form is available from the School or it can be downloaded from www.wgs.org.uk/transport.
Termly passes need to be booked in advance of each academic year. Single trip tickets can be purchased at least one day in advance from the Main School Reception. Charges for termly passes and single trip tickets will be added to the following term’s fees invoice.
For students in Year 11 and Year 13, a 50% reduction will be given on the termly pass charge during the Summer Term because of public examinations.
