Bus Services
Our School bus services are an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly way to travel to School. The School will continue to run buses to and from the School on the following routes in 2026-27.
Our dedicated bus routes below run at the beginning and end of the school day unless otherwise stated.
| Routes | |
|---|---|
| Route 1 | Cambourne – Madingley P&R – Perse Prep – Perse Upper |
| Route 2 | Royston – Melbourn – Harston – Trumpington P&R – Perse Prep – Perse Upper |
| Prep – Upper | Service only runs after School and is for Prep pupils only |
The following travel options are available: mornings only, afternoons only, or return journeys. Bus places must be booked for the whole term on one of these bases. Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer varying travel arrangements from week to week.
For return journey bookings, the same stop must be used for both the morning pick-up and the afternoon drop-off. A return fare cannot be applied where different stops are selected for each journey. Where different stops are required, the morning and afternoon journeys will be charged separately at the applicable single journey rates.
Bookings cover all weekdays, Monday to Friday, for the duration of the term. The cost per term may vary depending on the number of school days in that term. Bookings are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. While every effort is made to accommodate all pupils wishing to travel by bus, places cannot be guaranteed, particularly where applications are submitted close to the start of term. Bus fares are billed termly in advance.

The School reserves the right to amend bus routes when necessary, which may include altering stops or discontinuing a route. In the event of a significant change, we will make every effort to give parents as much notice as possible – and in any case, no less than one full term’s notice.
Minor adjustments, such as changes to pick-up times due to traffic conditions, may occasionally be required to ensure punctual arrival at school. These may be communicated at shorter notice.
For any questions regarding the School bus service, please contact our Transport Administrator at buses@perse.co.uk
If you wish to cancel your child’s bus place, please provide one full term’s notice by emailing buses@perse.co.uk
Our transport service is operated by Andrews Coaches, part of Millers Partners Limited, which also owns Mil-Ken Travel and Neals Travel. All drivers across these companies are DBS-checked.
Public Bus Services
Public bus services connect our schools with Cambridge city centre, the railway stations, Park & Ride sites and surrounding communities. The Upper school also has dedicated bus stops on Hills Road.
As routes and timetables can change, plan your journey using the relevant operator’s website or the Cambridgeshire public transport journey information.
