Transport

Travelling by car

Lyncombe Vale is a quiet, residential area with narrow roads and so, during school drop off and pick up times, we operate a neighbourhood traffic scheme, in agreement with our neighbours. Families are asked to enter the school using Lyncombe Vale and to exit using Lyncombe Vale Road which branches to the left on exiting the school.

Parents may use the 'drive through' system in the morning, or park to drop off. A member of the Leadership Team will help your child out of the car and ensure that they reach class safely.  If parking outside the school grounds, please remember to park with consideration for local residents.

Travelling by minibus

A complementary minibus service operates from Prior Park College in the mornings and a minibus returns to the College in the evenings. Children will be looked after by a Prior Park staff member while they wait to board the bus. Our friendly and professional Transport Team will bring the children to Prior Park Paragon where they are welcomed to school by members of the Senior Leadership Team and helped to get to their classrooms to begin the day.

• The morning service departs from Prior Park College Sports Centre at 8:10 and 8.15am  Monday to Friday (pupils should not arrive before 8.00am). 

• The afternoon return service to Prior Park College Sports Centre departs from Prior Park Paragon at 5:00pm (after the finish of most after school clubs) or 4:20pm on Fridays.

For older children, it is sometimes possible to arrange for pupils to catch one of the minibuses that travels to and from the surrounding villages to the College. These then link up with the minibuses to The Paragon.
