The Bloxham School Minibus service was set up in September 1999, to provide a safe and reliable means of getting pupils to and from school from outlying areas. The service is open to all day pupils who may wish to use the minibus in the mornings and/or evenings when the buses leave School at approximately 6.00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Charges for the minibus service are invoiced each term. If pupils wish to use the minibus service in just the mornings or evenings, i.e. only one journey per day, rather than two journeys, two thirds the rate is charged.
All the minibuses are equipped with mobile phones, full safety belt systems, DVD players and are driven by fully qualified uniformed drivers, who have to reset a periodic driving test.
6 routes operate Monday to Friday, divided into different zones. The routes are dictated by requests from parents, and each spring prospective parents, and existing parents receive a form to complete and replies are co-ordinated during the summer by the Bursar’s P.A., in conjunction with the Transport Manager. The Transport Manager will then work out a route and exact timings and notify all parents. The Minibus drivers will have driven their particular route prior to the start of the Michaelmas Term. Places are restricted and seats are offered on a first come, first served basis, with Lower School Pupils receiving priority.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Bursar’s P.A. by telephoning 01295 724303 if you need any further information regarding this service.
