TRANSPORT

Our school is one of the most accessible in the Midlands.

TRAVELLING TO SCHOOL BY BUS

King Henry VIII School works in partnership with Zeelo, a specialist school transport management company, to manage the school bus service. Zeelo manage all aspects of the bus service, and any enquiries can be directed to their friendly team who will be delighted to advise and support you through the booking process.

Most of our school minibus routes are operated using our own in-house drivers and minibuses. Drivers are DBS checked and regularly undertake the MiDAS course to ensure the safety of the pupils travelling. The team of drivers operate the same routes on a regular basis which allows both you and your child to get to know them.

Routes may be adjusted to better suit changing needs. Due notice will be given to parents of any planned changes.

Bookings can either be made on a termly basis or for the entire school year. Information on fares, timetables and stop details near you can be found on our dedicated transport site by clicking on the button below:

TRAVELLING TO SCHOOL BY TRAIN

The school is superbly located opposite Coventry train station and is therefore swiftly accessible from a wide catchment area. Platforms and the bus interchange can now be accessed from the same side of Warwick Road as the school. This offers an extremely convenient and safe option for students coming from a wide area of the Midlands.

“The train commute offers great flexibility at the end of the day which means the children can make use of the vast array of after school clubs. I have been really impressed with the other King Henry’s pupils on the train; they show great kindness to one another.”
