Transport to school

We are pleased to advise that Warrington Borough Council is making the Home to School transport process more streamlined and accessible for all with our online service.

Please see link to the Website where the online form is located. www.warrington.gov.uk/schooltransport.

Your online application will be treated as your request for next year’s student travel pass.  The pass will be despatched to you towards the end of August 2022, in time for the new academic year.

Please be aware a large number of applications are processed by this office during the summer months. In order to ensure that your pass is issued before the start of the new school year, please complete the process online by 8th July 2022. If you fail to complete the process promptly it will be assumed that your child will not require a pass for the 2022/2023 academic year.

Please remember that if your child leaves school before the end of the school year, it is important that you return the bus pass to The School Transport Team immediately.

If you have any issues completing our online form or require any further assistance, please contact our team via email – schooltransport@warrington.gov.uk or by telephoning 01925 442974.

How is Penketh High School Using Pupil Premium?

Penketh High School uses the Pupil Premium to improve educational outcomes for its most vulnerable children and thereby enable them to develop to their potential. For some children this will represent more of a challenge than for others and this is taken into account when planning strategies to improve achievement. For every child eligible for the Pupil Premium other factors which may statistically affect their potential achievement are also taken into account to ensure that those most in need have the necessary support.

Examples of activities which the school uses to support vulnerable children include:

  • Additional one-to-one or group tuition, for example in English and Mathematics
  • Additional group tuition (social, emotional and academic)
  • Learning support in school to develop pupils’ self-esteem, confidence, learning skills and levels of literacy and numeracy; curriculum delivery which enables those children with additional need upon entry to be in a position to make similar progress to their peers as quickly as possible within our Orchard Centre.
  • Activities which raise aspirations in disadvantaged groups
  • Additional vocational and alternative education packages.
  • Breakfast Club
  • Extra-curricular provision such as enrichment activities, educational visits and after-school and holiday sessions.
  • Pupil uniform and resources such as subject revision guides, art supplies, general school equipment.
  • Revision materials to ensure they have the best resources at home.
  • The premium is used to employ specialist staff such as one-to-one tutors or specialist teaching assistants and PP Champions
