Our location just off the A6 and its proximity to Woodsmoor and Davenport railway stations mean that we are well served by private school bus services, public buses and rail.
Buses: public
We are on the main 192 route from Hazel Grove to Manchester, through Stockport.
Other bus services that run along the A6 outside school include:
- 199 from Buxton

Woodsmoor and Davenport railway stations are both a 10 minute walk from the school. The stations are on the Buxton line, which runs from Manchester to Buxton, through Stockport, Whaley Bridge, Disley and Hazel Grove.
Stockport station is a little over one and a half miles north of the school and is easily reached with frequent bus services. The 192 bus stops directly outside the school.
