The academy operates bus number TA5 (New Ollerton and Boughton) and oversees passes for the 36 (Edwinstowe, Old Ollerton and Kirton only). Applications for travel from Edwinstowe, Ollerton, Boughton and Kirton must be made to the academy and not Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC).
Please note, the academy no longer operates the 730 extension to North Wheatley and Sturton le Steeple. Whilst the service is operating to these villages this academic year (2026/2027) , this is discretionary and it is only contracted to run from North Leverton. It is likely that the extension will cease in the future, and students will be expected to make their way to the nearest stop on the main route which will be North Leverton. Should we receive updates from NCC, we will share information on Weduc.
