Travel to School
School life
Our aims:
- To change the travel habits of our community; educating and informing all members, of the importance of sustainable travel
- To encourage the families of our pupils to walk, cycle, scoot or use public transport more often when travelling to school
- To introduce a range of initiatives to assist with travel choices
Parking
There is no parking at the school for parents. All parents are encouraged to use other sustainable modes of transport when travelling to school to drop off or pick up their children.
There are secure cycle and scooter racks at each of the school sites for staff, pupils and visitors to use.
Public Transport
Durston House is well-served by tube, rail and bus routes. Ealing Broadway Underground Station (District, Central & Elizabeth line) and Ealing Broadway Rail is only 500 metres from the school (a 6-minute walk).
Bus Routes
The school is in a good location for bus services in Ealing and West London. The E1, E2, E7, E8, E9, E10 & E11, 207, 297 & 483 buses all have stops very close to the school and serve a wide area, on a frequent basis.
Details of the public transport services are displayed on notice boards outside the school.
