Access
The Totteridge Academy has a main bus route '606',[3] which comes from Queensbury Station and runs 6 times a day (3 times from Queensbury to the school between 8:00am and 8:40am, and 3 times going back, between 3:15pm and 3:45pm). It is also a 10-minute walk to High Barnet Station (Northern Line) and the '251' bus route[4] (regular service).
There is parking available on-site, but it is primarily available for staff. Therefore, should parents or visitors need to park close-by, the 'King George V' playing grounds car park[5] is very close to the school, and parking is usually available (no parking charges apply).
