Copthorne Prep provides a morning and afternoon minibus service for children.
Overview
This service is used by many busy parents who need help with transport or want to cut their carbon footprint! Most routes are door to door, as long as a parent is at home to receive the child/children. We aim to keep journey times to a minimum and so numbers may be restricted where we deem the journey to be too long. Routes are adapted each academic year to reflect the needs of our families.
