Marist Friends
On behalf of the Marist Friends, welcome to the community! We are a group of volunteer parents dedicated to raising funds to enhance your child’s experience during their time at the school.
Some of our recent donations have included the purchasing of a new 3D printer for the School, new benches and a swing seat for the walled garden, ice creams at sports day, Christmas gifts for all pupils, percussion instrument for the music department and lots more.
We are only able to do this with your help, we organise various fundraising events throughout the year, and also run the very popular pre-loved uniform shop (watch the weekly E-Bulletin for opening dates and times). We are always looking for extra help from fellow parents, either as part of the committee or in a less formal role, perhaps helping out at the Christmas fair and School productions, or outdoor cinema evening.
If you would like to volunteer or learn more about what the Marist Friends do, please feel free to email us at maristfriends@themarist.com or complete this form.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to the school.
Best wishes,
The Marist Friends
Bus Routes
The Marist partners with Vectare, the market leading transport management software company, whose dedicated booking platform provides real time transport updates via tracking and running late notifications on all our bus routes.
Parents receive instant notifications when their child boards or alights the bus. They can also instantly see which seats are available when looking to make a new booking.
The Vectare portal shows the current map of routes and also has a postcode finder tool, through which parents can easily find their nearest stop.
If you do not find a nearby stop using the postcode search tool, please let Vectare know on contact@vectare.co.uk. They can analyse demand to create new stops and even new routes.
Bookings on the buses are available on a first come first served basis and payment for the services are paid through the portal before the beginning of term. Parents can book for the term or the year ahead and, during term time, make ad hoc bookings.
When parents have registered via the portal, they also have access to the Vectare Passenger App.
This mobile application allows parents to manage their child’s transport bookings on the go, making it easier to stay connected and in control.
If you have any queries about bus provision at The Marist, please do not hesitate to contact operations@themarist.com
More information is available in the Travel and Transport guide.
