Transport

We currently have four routes available;

• One travelling from Wimbledon via Southfields.
• One travelling from Richmond via Barnes, East Sheen and Mortlake.
• One travelling from Sloane Square via Chelsea, Fulham and across Putney Bridge (please note, this route is for year 3 pupils and above).
• One travelling from Kensington via Hammersmith and Fulham (please note, this route is for year 3 pupils and above).

All indicative timings are published in the Transport & Travel Guide and on the dedicated transport booking and journey finding website.

All coach drivers have been enhanced DBS checked, and regularly undergo periodic CPC training to ensure that they are of the highest standard.

Your daughter is welcome to take a friend home with her.

Please visit the dedicated transport site and make a booking for a single trip to ensure that she is on the register.

2. Login using the same details you used to make your booking
3. Select ‘My Account’
4. Select ‘Orders’

Alternatively, the video here shows how this can be done.

Capacity is limited on all routes and therefore it is advised that where parents have a regular requirement to use the service, they make a booking for the whole term or year.

Payment is taken on a termly basis, by credit or debit card, regardless of your booking option.

Where the requirement is ad-hoc, some parents may decide they want piece of mind that their daughter has a guaranteed space and therefore book a space for the term, whereas others just book available seats on an ad-hoc basis.

The price per trip varies based on the number of journeys taken.

Similar to a rail season ticket, by booking a regular journey, the price per day is cheaper than booking on an ad-hoc basis.

Please use the Transport & Travel Guide provided on this page for further details.

Payment is accepted by any form of major credit or debit card.

All payments are handled by our card processing provider, Stripe, who remit the funds directly to the school.

This means that your daughter doesn’t need to carry cash or a card whilst travelling. Once payment has been made, your child’s name will automatically be added to the drivers’ register.

We provide our school bus service in partnership with Vectare, who manage school buses across the GDST group.

Vectare can be contacted at putneyhigh@vectare.co.uk or on 0115 777 3189.

They can be contacted between 06:00-22:00 seven days a week, including whilst the coaches are running.

Real time updates will be provided to the contact details that were provided at the time of booking.

The driver cannot be contacted whilst they are driving, but Vectare’s operations team are available to assist if the bus is running more than 10 minutes late and you have not received a notification.

They can be contacted at putneyhigh@vectare.co.uk or on 0115 777 3189.

If your daughter is not using the service on a given day, please navigate to the My Account page on the school transport website.

From here, you should select “Journey Calendar”, and then choose the date that you would like to enter a cancellation for. Locate the correct journey and then click the “Mark as not travelling” button.
