Day Pupils
Delivering a safe and reliable transport service for our day pupils is integral to the day to day running of the School. Over the past few years, we have expanded our reach exponentially. Our routes are carefully planned ensuring that travel times are kept to a minimum – the further away a pupil is collected, the less drop-offs and pick-ups we endeavour to incorporate into the trip. Concerns about travelling are quickly allayed and we consistently find that pupils enjoy the social engagement the bus trips provide and not least the personal relationships forged with our reliable, caring drivers.

Any pupil wishing to drive their own car to school must first obtain the permission of the Director of Sixth Form and Pathways, Gillian Walmsley.
Boarding Pupils
Transport for pupils at the beginning and end of terms, half terms or quiet weekends, can be organised to and from the major airports. Taxis are usually shared with other pupils and the cost is recharged to the pupil’s account.
Term dates are published well in advance and all pupils are expected to be in school for the full term and should not leave before 4pm on the last day. Any request to leave earlier than the last day of term should be sent to the Deputy Headmaster. Any absences without permission will be treated as unauthorised. Similarly, all pupils should arrive back the day before term starts.
Boarding Houses are closed by 10pm and it is therefore not possible for pupils to arrive after this time. To allow for clearance at the airport and transport time, it is therefore not possible to collect pupils arriving on flights after 8pm. Similarly, staff are unable to supervise students leaving before 7am. Flights with departure times earlier than 11am (European flights) or 12noon (International flights) should not be booked.
Requests for taxis must be received at least two weeks before the start of term and no later than two weeks before the end of term. Any late requests will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances.
