In response to requests, we are exploring the possibility of running a school bus between the Senior School on Lexden Road and the Lower School, and having a bus run from Chitts Hill to the Lower School in addition to the Senior School. Please contact Mrs Justine Tierney, our Registrar, on 01206 594256 or at registrar@stmaryscolchester.org.uk if either of these routes would be of interest.
