Parents are able to purchase tickets directly from the coach operators or their representatives, for their children to travel on the school coaches. Some operators offer daily, weekly or termly tickets.
(A waiting list is in operation on some routes. Please check with the coach companies)
NB. At the moment there are Junior School pupils travelling on the two JVA buses and the 265 and 236 Fosseway buses.
We also offer a “Drop and Ride” service to girls in Years 4-6, and their younger siblings each morning. Pupils may be dropped at the top of the Senior School drive and the minibus will take them down to the Junior School. Pupils may be dropped from 8.10 am and the final departure from the Senior School is 8.30 am.
