TRANSPORT

The School car park has very limited parking and congestion can be severe. Parents are therefore requested to use buses or share cars if at all possible. For more information on car sharing contact your CESPA representative or register at www.school-run.org

Nursery and Primary parents should leave promptly, so that Secondary pupils can be collected more easily. 

Buses organised by parents  (Click here for routes and more information)

Daily buses to and from Oxford and Reading via Didcot are organised by individual parents on behalf of the Parents’ Association (CESPA). Interested parents should contact the organisers who can give details of costs and timetables, and put their names on a waiting list if necessary.  Oxford buses are run by BLOC (Bus Link Oxford-Culham)
