Sarum Academy is proud to be working with our community to provide great value, targeted transport to pupils choosing to attend the school. There are several different services available depending on your location and circumstances. The Wiltshire Council Catchment Tracker can be used to determine if you are considered as “in” or “out” of the catchment area for the school.
Wiltshire Council Transport (Catchment Pupils)
For pupils living in the catchment area, Wiltshire Council provide a number of services to the school.
The B4314 runs from Deptford and Wylye through Hanging Langford, Steeple Langford, Stapleford, Stoford, Great Wishford, South Newton and Wilton.
The B4315 runs from west of Salisbury, including Teffont Magna, Dinton, Barford St. Martin, Ditchampton, Bulbridge and Wilton.
Eligibility for these services is assessed by Wiltshire and applications should be submitted directly to them by June before the start of the school year. Further information and eligibility can be found by visiting: Wiltshire School Transport
If you live more than 3 miles away from Sarum Academy to the north, west or southwest of the school site and are not currently served by one of these buses you may be eligible for other forms of paid-for school transport. Please contact Wiltshire educationtransport@wiltshire.gov.uk for further information, or call 01225 712852 to speak to a member of their team.
