Parents and Carers: Travel
School Bus Service
Please see the bus service timetable for Whalley Range 11-18 High School, which contains information on the services that will operate for our school during the 2025/26 academic year.
Free Bus Travel for Young People (Our Pass & Igo Card)
Our Pass and the igo card offer young people free bus travel on local bus services across Greater Manchester, making it easier to access education, work, training, culture and leisure opportunities in the city/region.
Getting to School
We like to encourage our students where possible to walk or cycle to school. There are many health and environmental benefits attached to walking and cycling. Please use the links below for more information.School Closures
If the school is closed for any emergency reason, we will send a text message and an email message to all the parent/carer details that we hold on our student records. It is therefore very important that you keep us up to date with any changes to your mobile phone number or email address. Information will also be available on the school’s website and an answerphone message will be left on the main telephone number (0161 861 9727). In addition, for short notice closures due to severe weather, local radio stations will be informed.
Requesting Information
If you would like a paper copy of any information published on this website please contact the school.
Parent View
An online questionnaire for you to give your view about this school at any time of the year. At the time of an Ofsted inspection, parents are also invited to give inspectors their views using Parent View.
