We are thrilled to be working with Lakeside Coaches to provide home-to-school transport for NGHS students.
Due to popular demand we are looking into the feasibility of introducing 2 new coach routes for the academic year 2025/26. It is important to note that at this stage, the school would just like to assess whether the introduction of these routes would be viable and it is not a guarantee that we will be able to introduce these routes in September 2025.

Stafford / Gnosall parents have previously used Austin’s travel, who are also looking to expand their services. There will be an option on our register of interest form below to allow us to pass on your information to Austin’s travel if we are unable to provide the routes shown in September.
We would be looking to introduce 2 new routes to cover both the Stafford and Stoke-On-Trent areas. The proposed stops for these routes can be found below.
