*The academy organises the TA5, the extension to the 730 and pass sales for Edwinstowe and Kirton on the 36. The TA5 is for students living in Ollerton and Boughton only. The 730 for routes as far as North Leverton is organised by Nottinghamshire County Council. For students who are travelling beyond North Leverton to Sturton le Steeple and North Wheatley only, they travel on the 730 and the academy organises this extended route. Please note, the extension only of the 730 service will cease in July 2027.  From September 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.
