Bournemouth Borough Council funds a number of bus routes to provide travel to and from schools in the borough. In addition some other School bus routes are provided on a commercial basis by Shamrock Buses.
The school routes are generally provided to enable direct journeys to and from School. Travel to and from school may also be available on the general bus network as well. Timetables/information available from the commercial bus operators can be used to see which option is best, see the Buses Main Menu for contact information.
If you live outside Bournemouth, your local Council may still provide a bus service to St. Peter's School or Bournemouth School for Boys/Girls. Please check with your local council for confirmation of their arrangements.
Maps of specific bus services for the schools listed (right) can be downloaded as Adobe PDF documents if required. The bus services normally use all bus stops on route but for clarity only some timing points are shown. All times given are approximate. Alongside each route the bus company that runs the route is shown. The bus providers usually offer passes for a term or other discounted tickets, for more information please contact the bus company at the address below.
