What about the Educational Needs of the Children?

Originally, there were separate First and Second Schools. However, they have been combined for a number of years and the redundant site in the centre of the village, presently serving as the village green, is shortly to be redeveloped for housing.

Secondary Education, however, for youngsters from Binley Woods, Brandon and Wolston is provided in Rugby, seven or eight miles distant. A fleet of buses and coaches provides the transport each day.

How well connected is Binley Woods?

Due to it's proximity to Coventry, many residents work in or near the city. However, because of it's good links to the motorway and trunk road system it is also a popular base for people working further afield. The border with Coventry is marked with the A46 Coventry Eastern By-Pass, providing links to the north with the M6, M69 and M1 and to the south with the A45, M1, M42 and M40.

In addition, Binley Woods is home to a number of businesses including several involved with domestic and commercial building work.

Brandon Woods, recently secured for everyone's future enjoyment by the efforts of local people formed into a registered charity, can be accessed from a gate at the junction of Ferndale Road and Craven Avenue.

So Binley Woods is only for Motorists?

No, Stagecoach provides a regular bus service. This operates along the main road. Some journies also run through to Walsgrave Hospital. Flexi-bus services supported by Warwickshire County Council also operate on certain days of the week providing wheelchair accessible facilities.
