Arrangements during Hammersmith Bridge closure

UPDATE: Hammersmith Bridge will no longer be closed during November. 

Hammersmith Bridge remains closed to traffic for the foreseeable future, but has now reopened to pedestrians. The shuttle bus service launched during the bridge’s complete closure, therefore, have ceased. Shuttle buses can be restarted again within 48 hours should the bridge close again.

We continue to monitor the service during the closure and parents are updated through regular emails. We also advise that pupils, parents and visitors check  routes to the school for changes on a weekly basis. Please contact smpa@stpaulsschool.org.uk if further information is required.

Cycling

Pupils or visitors may cycle to school and cycle racks are available around the site. We advise that pupils who cycle wear helmets and high visibility garments at all times on their journey to and from school and lock their bikes away securely in a cycle rack.

Driving and Parking

Flexi Boarding

Since September 2021, a number of flexi boarding places have been available for senior pupils in the newly refurbished West House. This provision is for pupils who want to board for two or three nights a week and will be perfect for those who have a very long commute, an after-school or early morning activity, or whose parents are away for a period of time.
