Transport Routes

From September 2024 the School will operate 7 different routes for minibus pick-up and return.  We offer a free transfer from the Palace to the Junior School and back again, so that parents can have one drop-off and pick-up point.  

We have partnered with Vectare, a specialist school transport software company, to offer easy, convenient online booking and payment.
