The options available
The British School in The Netherlands offers a comprehensive school bus service for BSN students from home to school and back again. The service operates every school day. Various options are available including a door-to-door service.
The school bus service is a ‘two way’ service including the morning and afternoon. The busses leave at the end of the school day. Students attending extra-curricular activities need to be collected by parents or guardians.
Please note that the school bus service is not available for Foundation 1 children and the service for Foundation 2 children starts after the half term holiday in October. Students will automatically be transferred to the appropriate bus service when changing from the Junior School to the Senior School unless written notification is received before the notification date.
