Getting here

Celebrating 150 years on Compton Road in October 2025

Wolverhampton Grammar School is well served by public bus services from Wolverhampton City Centre, Bridgnorth, Castlecroft, Claverley, Codsall, Oldbury, Perton, Pattingham, Pendeford, Telford, Tettenhall, and Worfield. The City Centre also has a train station operated by West Midlands Railway serving all mainline routes in and around Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Telford and Shrewsbury.

In addition to excellent public transportation links on offer, the School also operates its own Bus and Coach services (in collaboration with Hills Coaches) offering flexible one way and return journey options covering three counties (Shropshire, Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands). 

Buses and coaches are provided every day the School is open to our students (excluding induction days). Parents are asked to ensure that their child is ready at the bus stop ten minutes before the times indicated on the routes below. All School operated transport leaves the School site at the end of the day at 4.15pm for return journeys. The Penkridge coach will stop outside Codsall Community High School on the return journey in the evening, after departing from Codsall Square.
