2025 – New Minibus Route Serving Wantage

Minibus Service

The Manor runs three morning and afternoon minibus routes. These are managed by an external provider called Vectare and bookings are made via a dedicated Manor website. Vectare also facilitate live tracking of our minibuses, helping parents to stay fully informed at all times.

This service is designed for children from Reception age upwards and booster seats are provided where necessary. Each bus has a Minibus Supervisor on board, in addition to the Driver, to look after the children and to ensure their happiness and safety at all times.
