Coach Services
The School operates an extensive coach service covering many local towns and villages.
We are currently discussing options with our coach operators about how they will run the service with all the required safety measures in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. We will publish updated information about routes, timetables and fares for 2020-21 here soon, so please check back regularly.
In September 2019, we launched a new online coach booking system. From this website, you can view routes, timetables and fare information, find your closest bus stop and book regular or ad hoc travel.
Reserve a Seat
If you require the coach for September 2019, the deadline to be guaranteed a seat is Sunday 30 June 2019. After this date a coach can still be booked but will be subject to availability. Our new booking system will guide you through the process. You can also use the handy postcode look up to find your nearest stop and route.
If you would like to discuss options for your child please contact Allison Hasyildirim travel@clairescourt.com.

SCHOOL TRANSPORT CONTACT
For further information on our coach service, or if you are looking to join the School and wish to discuss a route, please contact our Trips and Transport Co-ordinator on 01628 327514 or email travel@clairescourt.com.
Emergency and Severe Weather Information
In the event of severe weather and snow the School and coach operators will decide by 6.30am whether the coach service will operate. The School will send a text message and supporting email with a simple announcement on whether the school is open or closed. The School website and social media channels will carry the most up to date information regarding any issues and the weather and travel line on each site will also be updated.
Cancellation Policy
Vehicles are organised on the basis of those we anticipate travelling for the year and therefore sufficient notice of cancellation is required. Parents are requested to give the School half a term’s notice of cancellation of transport (with the exception of the annual term pass for which a full term’s notice of discontinuance is required).
