Minibus service terms & conditions

Train

Cambridge Station is just a ten minute walk away from our Junior School, Senior School, Sixth Form and Boarding accommodation.

Cycle

We run annual Bikeability sessions to encourage our girls to get active by travelling by bike. We have bicycle parks at Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form. We are also a member of the Travel for Cambridgeshire scheme which offers discounts at various bicycle shops.

To promote cycling to school, we are planning in-house small bicycle repairs which will be carried out by our fully qualified staff. In addition, we have negotiated a 10% discount for all repairs with Lensfield Road Cycles (please provide proof your daughter attends St Mary's School when arranging your repair).
