Travel Information
As part of our commitment to sustainable transport and improved air quality, we ask our students to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to the Academy.
Car
There are no drop-off facilities for students arriving by car. Please do not drive down McFarlane Lane or wait in Goals’ carpark.
If you need to bring your child to school by car, please use our 'Park and Stride' arrangement with Tesco.
You can drop your child to the Tesco car park, and they can walk down MacFarlane Lane to school. Please follow the same arrangement for pick-ups in the afternoon.
Buses
Two bus services run along the Great West Road - close to Bolder Academy:
H28
H91
Three more bus routes run along London Road which is a fifteen minute walk from the Academy:

237
267

The 618 will run to serve Bolder Academy and Nishkam School. The bus service will carry out one journey in each direction.
The bus will depart from Ivybridge Estate at 07:45am, aiming to arrive at Bolder for 8:20am.
The bus will depart from Bolder Academy at 3.20pm

Bike
There are a series of cycle paths and dual use paths on the approaches to Bolder Academy. We have a large sheltered bike park to the rear of the building where you can lock your bike (a D- lock is recommended). Remember that all students cycling to school should wear a helmet and have working lights for dusk and dawn.
