Getting to school safely

By Bus

All buses going between Epsom and Leatherhead pass the end of White Horse Drive, with stops nearby on both sides of the road.  Girls must take particular care in crossing Dorking Road and be sure to use the Pelican Crossing.  Please contact your local bus station for fares.

All further information about travel passes can be obtained from Surrey County Council’s Traveline on 0870 608 2 608.  Please see our map and instructions on how to find us and a copy of the buses that serve Epsom and Rosebery.

By Train

To Epsom Station:  Girls may walk along Station Approach to West Street and follow the route along West Hill and Rosebank, leading to the footpath by the school playing fields (known as ‘the Cabbage Patch’) which leads to the end of White Horse Drive – this route takes about ten minutes.  If girls are staying late for practices during the winter evenings, we advise them to use the main road – this takes about twenty minutes.  Girls walking to and from Epsom Station should use the pedestrian crossing to cross West Street. 

By Car

White Horse Drive is a narrow cul-de-sac with parking restrictions.  In order to avoid accidents we ask parents to drop girls off at the bus space in the Dorking Road.  It is a very short walk to the school.  Under no circumstances should parents park on the zig-zag lines outside the entrance or drive on to school premises to drop off or pick up their daughter unless, of course, there are mobility problems where specific arrangements have been made in advance.

There is very little parking space at the school for meetings and events.  Usually we have an arrangement for parents to park at Epsom Hospital, just across the Dorking Road.  We hope this will continue next year. If you have an appointment with a member of staff you may use one of the visitor's spaces at the front of the school.

By Bicycle

Bicycles should be parked in the areas provided.  Cycle sheds are available and bicycles must be padlocked to the stand.  Cycling Proficiency tests are essential for those cycling to school, and bicycles must be in a roadworthy condition.  Cyclists must dismount before entering the school grounds.  All detachable parts such as lamps and pumps must be removed and should be kept in either lockers or school bags.  WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT CYCLISTS WEAR SAFETY HELMETS AND LUMINOUS BANDS OR STRIPS.  (A map of cycle routes in Epsom & Ewell Borough may be obtained from Epsom Town Hall).
