Bus routes 2024-25

Thank you for your interest in our Sixth Form bus service.

These are predominantly aimed at Sixth Form students, they are managed directly by the school and are separate to the services operated by North Yorkshire County Council.

Routes are plotted from the expression of interest received over the summer term (April-June), and are then updated accordingly on the school website before the end of the academic year, showing the planned route for the start of the school year in September.

In order to secure a place on the bus, a non-refundable deposit will be required to be paid prior.

Bus places are limited and will be granted on a first come, first serve basis on receipt of the paid deposit.

*Please note that having gained a place on the bus successfully the previous year, does not automatically roll over in to the next school year. Places are only guaranteed by following the above method*.

After successfully securing a place on one of our services, termly payments will be required in advance and are payable using the school’s online payments system, Arbor. Parents new to the school will be prompted to set up an Arbor account in September.

There are three areas covered by bus routes indicated on the map below, for timetables and payment information please click on the relevant button below.

Please contact HGSFinance@hgs.rklt.co.uk for any queries.
