Launceston College has announced that its free school transport service is being expanded to students living in Bude and nearby communities.

Wider Access for Local Students

The college, which is part of Athena Learning Trust, says the new routes are designed to make travelling to Launceston easier and to open up access to what it describes as its high quality educational offer.

The existing free transport offered to students in the areas around Holsworthy will continue. By extending the network, the college aims to remove barriers to education and ensure more young people can benefit from the opportunities available at Launceston College.

Families who want to know more about the routes or availability are encouraged to contact the team at transition@launcestoncollege.uk.

Principal Welcomes the Expansion

Principal Matthew Thompson said:

“This expansion reflects our commitment to ensuring that every young person can access the full breadth of opportunities we offer. By removing travel barriers for families in Bude and the surrounding areas, we hope to make it even easier for students to join our thriving community and take advantage of our high quality curriculum and enrichment programmes.”
