Minibus Service
Leave the Traffic to us
To make daily travel easier for families, we run a dedicated minibus service for pupils from Year 3 to Year 13 with safe, reliable transport to and from Oxford High School.
Each route is driven by a regular driver, helping pupils feel safe and supported as they build familiarity with their journey. The service is designed to be reliable, convenient, and stress-free to provide families peace of mind and pupils a smooth start and end to their school day.
Run in partnership with Vectare, who manage routes across the GDST, the network currently covers nine routes across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, including a convenient Oxford Ring Road option in the mornings.
With one service before and after school and managed through a convenient app, it offers a broad range of travel options designed to make daily journeys easier for our families.

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.
