• On Friday afternoons, buses depart School at 4 pm.

Bus routes, times and collection points can vary from term to term depending on the needs of pupils.

Please be advised that the routes may change as the service remains demand-led and can only operate if there is sufficient demand to make running a service viable, please be advised that expressing interest does not guarantee access to School transport.

Airport Transfers

The School arranges transport from London’s Heathrow Airport at the beginning of each term and returns at the end of each term. To book a seat for your child on the coach, please get in touch with Mr Smith as soon as possible with your child’s flight details, including flight arrival date, time and flight number.

Other transport requirements

The School is always happy to help students book taxis, trains and buses within the UK. For any help with this, again, please contact Mr Smith. 

Unaccompanied Minors

It is most important that you inform the School if your child is travelling as an ‘unaccompanied minor’. Please get in touch with Mr Smith no later than three weeks before the end of term to confirm arrangements at the airport.
