Prep
We currently offer two chaperoned routes for pupils in Year 3 and up. Our chaperone registers the children onto the bus in the morning and helps to ensure they are seated safely. Upon arrival at Kings Campus the chaperone will walk the children across to the Prep school. After school, the children are collected from the Prep and escorted back to the coach. During each journey parents will be provided with an app on which they can track their child’s progress to school.
Those in Year 5/6 with siblings in our Senior Schools may also take other routes subject to permission from the Prep Head.
