Pupil Bus Service
Our efficient, safe, and reliable daily transport eliminates the logistical problems of coordinating the school run for busy families with routes across the island.
We have routes from: Cowes, Bembridge, West Wight and Ventnor.
Cowes Bus Service
The Senior School has bus services operating from West Wight, operated by Southern Vectis, in the morning, returning after lessons finish on Monday to Friday. The Prep School has a mini-bus service (limited to 16 pupils) operated by the School in the morning and Minibus Plus after school.
In addition, a School run minibus service is available on Mondays to Thursdays on a bookable basis which leaves at the end of after School activities. Places are limited to 16 pupils.
All vehicles are fitted with seat belts, all drivers are DBS checked and it is expected that the same driver operates each route, however this may be subject to change on occasion.
