Home to School Transport
St Francis Xavier School currently operates four dedicated bus services. Passes are issued for either zone A or zone B and are not transferrable to other routes.
*The daily rate for a pass for the 2023/24 academic year is:
- Zone A - £4.25 per day

Application process
To secure a place on one of our bus services we require:
- A completed application form AND
- A deposit of £50 per child, payable via your child's ParentPay account.
The deadline for receipt of applications and deposit payments is 9.00am on Friday 30th June 2023. Late submission may result in your child not being allocated a seat on their chosen route. Places are limited; once all seats have been allocated a waiting list will be in place.
You can access the application form here.
By submitting your application you agree to the Terms and Conditions.
