The Cotswold School

We specialise in providing Home to School Transport carrying over 3,000 students every day, to primary and secondary schools, across four counties.

Home to School transport requires a separate application from your school application. You should make enquiries for school transport as soon as you know which school your child is likely to attend. Where you apply for school transport will depend on your entitlement to Local Authority provided school transport:

For entitled students (those who qualify for transport to your chosen school) – apply via the authority in which you live.

For non-entitled students (those who do not qualify for transport to your chosen school) – apply for a space on a Pulhams commercial school route.

Applications can be made at any time during the school year. We offer a waiting list for busy routes. You will not be able to travel on school buses unless you have applied formally, made the required payments and received a valid QR code or bus pass.

The expected stops to be served are as follows:

• The War Memorial, Alderton
• Working Lane, Gretton
• Gervase Road, Winchcombe
• Midcounties Co-op, Greet Road Winchcombe
• Winchcombe Medical Centre
• Stop opposite Evesham Road / Becketts Lane, Greet
• Church Lane, Toddington on B4077
• Apple Tree Close – Newtown B4077
• The Pheasant – B4077 Toddington
• The Cotswold School, Bourton-on-the-Water

The total annual price will depend on the total number of sign-ups, as follows:

• 49 seats sold = £1,200 per student
• 42 seats sold= £1,400 per student
• 37 seats sold= £1,600 per student
• 33 seats sold= £1,800 per student
• 31 seats sold = £1,900 per student

Payment will be taken in two instalments, one by 9 August 2024 and the other on 1 February 2025.

The price per ticket will be notified shortly before the first instalment is due. If more seats are sold after this date, any subsequent difference in price will be refunded.

To make an application for the 2024/2025 academic year, set up an account via the Pulhams Home to School Transport app or E-Ticketing website.

• After creating an account, select the correct school.
• Select ‘Purchase ticket and choose your required stop.
• You will first need to purchase a ticket for £100.00 . This is a non-refundable initial payment to secure the seat for your requested pickup location.
• Once a deposit ticket has been purchased, you will be granted access to payment options in ‘ticket schemes’. Tickets are available to pay in 1, 2 or 6 instalments. All payments must be made by 31st July 2024.  When payment has been made you will receive a QR code for travel.
• If you choose 6 instalments, a direct debit mandate will be sent separately and you will not be issued with a valid QR code until the direct debit has been processed.
• You can share the QR code with your child/ren by adding them to your account and gifting them the ticket. They will also need the app to view the gifted ticket and use to show the driver when boarding. If you prefer, you can print the QR code.

Please ensure both the parent/guardian and student reads and understands the Home to School Transport Terms & Conditions and Student Code of Conduct.
