Transport Information

Transport to and from Perins

At Perins, we are committed to ensuring all students have access to transportation that is both safe and reliable to and from school. We understand the importance of a smooth and secure journey for our students, as it sets the tone for a productive day of learning.

Our transportation services are designed to cater to the diverse needs of our school community. Below, you'll find details about our in-catchment buses, out-of-catchment buses, and late buses, all of which are organised to provide the best possible service for our students and their families.

"Today, I caught the 67 bus where several children embarked at Perins School and I got off along Jacklyns Lane. The children on the bus were very well mannered and well behaved. When I got off the bus there were several children chatting and walking, all made way for me with smiley faces. Well done you lovely young people. Well done all!" - 67 bus patron.

Our students not only travel safely but also use this time to bond with friends and enjoy each other's company. It's wonderful to see them making the most of their travel time.

Just the journey – your guide to smarter and safer travel to school
