Getting to and from Plume Academy
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.

Bus routes
Being so close to the centre of Maldon means both campus’ benefit from access to good bus services. These serve all the rest of the Maldon and Heybridge, as well as Chelmsford and the many villages either side of the estuary.
Fambridge Road Campus in particular has bus stops on either side right outside the front of the academy and zigzags preventing parking at the bus stops.
