There are a variety of transport arrangements used by students to get to Mounts Bay Academy, either by their own arrangements or organised transport.
You are advised to plan ahead. Check where the bus stops are and the pickup and drop off times? Walk, ride or drive the route in advance to check how long the journey takes?
This will reduce pressure on public transport and road networks.
Cyclists are advised wear a helmet and high-vis vest
Plan your route. Parking is limited at the Academy and traffic wardens patrol the area. Please do not park in the bus bays between 8-9:30 and 2-3:30pm.
Consider all forms of transport before using public transport
Check before your journey with the transport operator for the latest travel advice or route/time changes.
