Routes 1 and 4 are by School mini bus while routes 2 and 3 are by coach. The mini buses depart from the Art Block car park while the coaches leave from the Coach Park outside the Dining Room, at 5.05 p.m. so boys can take part in after-school activities. If boys do not have a commitment they can work in the Lower School Library, where there is an adult on duty. Parents are asked to pay for a term at a time, and boys are then issued with a bus pass.

Many parents have written to say how useful it has been for them, providing both convenience and peace of mind. If you would like more details regarding pick-up points and payment please contact Mrs. Baxter in the School Office (tel. on 020 8688 9222).
