St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School
Travel & Parking
Our children travel to school from homes across Andover and the surrounding villages. We want to make sure parents have as much information as possible in order to make informed decisions as to how their child will make this journey, whether it be walking, cycling or by bus.
Walk and Talk
Parking away from Floral Way and walking into school is a great way to start the day:
By parking a little further away, you not only help reduce traffic but also create a wonderful opportunity for a ‘Walk and Talk’ with your child. These few minutes can make a big difference:
✅ Boosts wellbeing – Walking helps children feel calm and ready to learn.
✅ Strengthens relationships – Talking on the way in gives space for sharing thoughts and feelings.
✅ Encourages healthy habits – A short walk adds daily exercise in a fun, natural way.
We know mornings can be rushed, so please allow plenty of time to arrive safely and calmly.
By bus
Public Service Buses serving our school are provided by Stagecoach. You can plan your journey on the following link: Plan A Journey
By car
There are parking and road restrictions around Floral Way. Please refer to the map below to ensure parking is safe, in the unrestricted parking bays and respectful of local residents and other members of the school community.
By bicycle or scooter
If your child rides their bike or scooter to school or wants to start riding their bike or scooter to school, we have storage available at the main pedestrian gate entrance. Children will have the opportunity to develop their cycling proficiency skills during Bikeability lessons throughout their time at school.
