School Life & Uniform
Please note that from September 2024, Year 7 students will need a blazer with the new school logo on as shown below.
Transport Enquiries & Travelling to School
As a school we strongly encourage staff and students to walk or cycle to school if at all possible (see maps/information below). This will help to reduce the school's environmental impact and is also a great idea for wellbeing. Alternatively using public transport or school buses is a good option. If you wish to enquire about the subsidised buses from Southampton, Totton and the Landford area, please contact the Finance Office via email on transport@romsey.hants.sch.uk. If you have any other enquiries regarding school transport please contact Hampshire Passenger Transport Services.
Walking to School
Hampshire County Council have produced these resources to help you plan your child's journey to school with them. These maps have also been posted on their My Journey Website where you will find lots of other useful information.
Cycling to School
Bike racks are located behind East Block. All students must wear helmets to ride to and from school as well as wearing high vis clothing and/or lights in the winter. The bike racks are covered by CCTV cameras but nevertheless a bike lock is reccomended for all users.
Travel by Train
Romsey Station is a 7 minute walk from the school and there are regular services from Southampton, Salisbury & The Test Valley.
Travel by Car
If there is no choice but for students to travel by car then parents are encouraged to drop off them off in central Romsey or the Waitrose car park in order to avoid congestion in the residential areas around the school. This will then give students a 10 minute walk into school - use the walking maps above to help plan this. Parents should never drop off or collect students directly from the school site other than after an afterschool activity.
