The school operates a minibus service at 8.25am each morning from Wakefield Westgate Station to Silcoates for pupils who travel by train – usually from Doncaster and Leeds, but it can be used by those arriving from other destinations.  The service operates in the mornings only.  Parents who wish to take advantage of this service should contact the Headmaster’s Secretary, Mrs Carol Woodhead, on 01924 885201, in the first instance.  A taxi service can be provided for the return journey to the station.

If you wish to reserve a seat, please contact Mrs Woodhead, the Headmaster’s Secretary.  The appropriate form detailing pick-up times will be forwarded to you to be completed and returned as soon as possible.   Seats are reserved on a first come, first served basis.  One full term’s notice in writing is required for the cancellation of a place.

All pupils travelling on the school buses must be aware of, and follow, the Code of Conduct which is provided at the time of confirmation of a place.  This must be signed by both the parent and the child and returned to the Headmaster’s Secretary.
