Our minibus service operates on three main routes - Petworth, Birdham and Winchester - and a collection from Petersfield Station.
The services operate morning only due to the differing finish times across Bedales, Pre-prep, Prep and Senior. The services use our own school minibuses with our own staff driving.
All routes aim to arrive at Bedales Prep at 8.15am and Bedales Senior at 8.20am. The services will run Monday to Saturday except on long leave weekends and bank holidays.

The termly charge is for a space on the minibus which will allow a student to use the service every day. It is not possible to offer a place only on certain days as it would become overly bureaucratic to administer. The charges are per term irrespective of the length of the term and will be in advance alongside the school fees. Once you have booked a place on the minibus service, we would need a term’s notice from you to cancel this
