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, in addition, travel to and from school may also be available on the general bus network as well.

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.
