*The academy organises the TA5 for students living in Ollerton and Boughton only and oversees the pass sales for Edwinstowe and Kirton on the 36.
** The academy also organises the extension route of the 730 from Sturton le Steeple and North Wheatley. The 730 is a Nottinghamshire County Council service between North Leverton and Tuxford Academy. For students travelling from Sturton le Steeple and North Wheatley only, the academy will sell, and issue passes for this extended route. Please note, the extension only of the 730 service will cease by July 2027 at the latest; however, we are looking to make arrangements to end this extension service at the end of July 2026 and will be contacting parents of current users about this. From September 2026 (2027), any student living in North Wheatley and Sturton le Steeple who wishes to travel to the academy will need to make their way to the nearest stop on the main route which will be North Leverton.
