Transport & Travel
From September 2020 we are launching our new and improved School Bus Service which is now managed on our behalf by Vectare, a specialist school transport management company.
All bookings for our school bus routes should now be made via our new online booking system, which can be accessed at godolphin.vectare.co.uk.
You can find more information, including maps and FAQs on the Vectare site.
Godolphin intends to run five bus routes that will cover a range of areas including Andover, Fordingbridge, Shaftesbury, Twyford and Winchester.
However, we may adapt the way that the service is delivered to accommodate the most up-to-date government guidance concerning COVID-19.
The Transport & Travel brochure for Godolphin can be found here.

Parents are asked not to park in the designated bus stop, or layby, as this will prevent the school bus from parking safely, or from stopping at all.
For advice on any aspect of the School's bus service, please contact godolphin@vectare.co.uk.
N.B Please note that all routes can be subject to delay as a result of unforeseen circumstances.
Passengers are reminded that they must be at their stop and ready to board at least five minutes before departure.
