The school offers an excellent mini bus service, we operate 12 routes with our branded fleet of minibuses, which are regularly checked and serviced. Our drivers are qualified and dedicated, and are DBS and medically checked regularly.
The School offers a service for girls from Year 3 upwards. We have a morning service which arrives at school at 8.30am and an afternoon service which leaves at 4pm. In addition, we run a 5pm service for girls attending clubs and prep, which although does not cover all of the routes, is very comprehensive.
We cover a wide area which includes, Sandbanks, Penn Hill, Lower Parkstone, Lymington, New Milton, Wimborne, Corfe Mullen, Bakers Arms, Broadstone, Ringwood, Bournemouth Train station, Southbourne, and Whitecliff. Please see our bus timetable for a full list of stops. The 5pm bus service is a slightly limited service to our 4pm service, the locations are listed on our timetable.
All bus charges are based on a five day week and you will be charged on a pro-rata basis according to your weekly requirements. Please complete the bus request form above to secure your booking. Availability is limited, so early application is important. Please indicate the route, days and pick-up/drop-off points required.
If you require different buses on different days, then you will need to complete a form for each bus. We require separate forms for each child requiring a bus.
For economic reasons, we cannot offer alternate week seats, and all fares are non-refundable for un-used journeys.
We can offer one off trips when needed, please contact the finance department to check availability for the journey you need. We would request however, that you provide 48 hours’ notice for all one off journeys or one off amendments. Booking is essential as the majority of our buses are full.
Withdrawal from the service and permanent changes must be made by written advice to the finance office with half a term’s notice, otherwise fees will be charged due to insufficient notice.
If you do have any questions regarding availability or charges, please feel free to contact Mrs Fuller in the finance department on 01202 755410.
If you have a question on location of route and stops please contact Mr Blakey our transport manager.
