Minibus Service

In addition to the full bus route network as detailed below, operated jointly between The Manor, St Helen’s and Abingdon School, The Manor runs several morning and afternoon minibus services.

This service is designed for children from Reception and offers booster seats where necessary. A second member of staff (in addition to the driver) will be on board to assist younger children with seat belts, luggage and their safe delivery to the classroom on arrival at The Manor.

School Travel Plan

Our School Travel Plan aims to:

  • Reduce the use of cars for journeys to our school
  • Replace single-occupancy car journeys with school bus use
  • To car-share where car travel can’t be avoided

Key benefits of doing this will be:

  • A reduction in our school’s Carbon Footprint
  • Less congestion near the school
  • Fewer cars on the roads, improving road safety for all
  • Cleaner air around the school
