Transport to and from the Academy

Please be advised that Sandwell Academy no longer provides a coach service for our students. Endeavour Coaches provide an independent coach service which travels to and from the Academy each day. This coach service is for students who have pre-booked places at the beginning of the academic year. Parents will need to deal directly with Endeavour if they wish their child to travel by coach.

For all enquiries regarding coaches - please contact Endeavour Coaches.

Session 3 Transport

Users of the Endeavour Coach Service should arrange a place on the Session 3 coach directly with Endeavour.

General

The transport arrangements have been made with due regard to the best interests of the students. Suggestions for improvement will be accepted by the Academy but decision is final.

Students who intend to bring a bicycle to the Academy should make contact with the Student Support Officer, Miss Baker to arrange a contract to bring bicycles on to the Academy site.

Sixth Form students are not allowed to bring cars or mopeds on to the Academy site.

Information regarding parking facilities on the WBA Tom Silk Site should be obtained from Miss Baker.

Parents Bringing Students By Car

Please do not drop off students, park or turn your cars around in the entrance to the Academy. This is illegal and discourteous. Parents need to make themselves aware of the yellow markings on the road outside the Academy and park in a safe place. In the interests of students' safety, parents are not allowed to come on to the Academy site to drop students off.

Please note that we work closely with the Highways Agency, local council and the Police to enforce traffic regulations in the interest of student safety.
