Getting to and from Davenant Foundation School
These routes and maps are suggestions of how you could stop taking the car and swap to cycling, walking, or scooting to school. They don’t show every possible route and you could have fun finding a way that works for you. If you know a safe way that gets you there even quicker, that’s great! Take that route instead.

Children aged 11 to 15 years and 16 to 17 years can get free or discounted travel on Transport for London buses. The 11-15 Zip Oyster photocard and the 16+ Zip Oyster photocard are available to those who live both inside and outside London.
Train routes
It’s just over 1.6km’s to Debden Underground Station. This station is on the Central Line between Stratford and Epping. The services are incredibly frequent and, as the school’s not in central London, you’re more likely to get a seat.
