Transport Options

Thank you for taking the time to look at Sherborne Schools Group bus service. This sets out the wide range of travel options available to the pupils at Sherborne Schools Group. We are delighted to be partnered with Vectare, a specialist school transport management company, to assist us with the school bus service.

Routes are available from Bruton, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Blandford Forum, Langport, Dorchester and Beaminster to Sherborne, as well as from Dorchester and Salisbury to Hanford. All routes are subject to minimum numbers and the routes for September 2026 will be confirmed in early July.

Exact pricing will be confirmed in July once routes have been finalised, but estimated fares are as follows: £4.50 for journeys up to 4 miles, £7.50 for 4 to 10 miles, and £9.75 for distances over 10 miles.

Full boarding (catering for 90% of pupils in the senior schools) remains our flagship offering and the foundation of school life; however, we recognise the financial pressures many families are facing and want to ensure that day and day boarding places are a viable option for local families through reliable, affordable transport.
