School Transport – Limited availability
The school charters two buses from Morebus to transport students to and from school on specific routes, plus our school minibuses are used for smaller groups of students.
Students must be registered on the bus service and have a bus pass. We are not in a position to guarantee a travel place. Please email transport@lytchett.org.uk for further information and availability.

The cost of this service is currently £4.75 return per day, payable half termly through ParentPay. Travel is offered on a regular basis, we cannot accommodate ad-hoc travel as we need to ensure a seat is available for each student using the service. The cost is calculated based on the number of academic days in that half term. For anyone joining part way through a half term, you will only be charged for the number of days remaining in that half term period. Payment must be made in full for each half term travel - non-payment by the due date will result in the travel place being withdrawn for the following term.
Routes and prices for the 24-25 academic year will be under review in July and further information will be published here, when available.
