The cost of this service is £4.75 return per day, payable half termly through ParentPay. Travel is offered on a regular basis, we cannot accommodate ad-hoc travel as we need to ensure a seat is available for each student using the service. The cost per term is calculated based on the number of academic days in that half term. For anyone joining part way through a half term, you will only be charged for the number of days remaining in that half term. Payment must be made in full for each half term travel.
