I don't know the answer to your question but I would say that it's a terrible journey to do 5 days a week for 7 years. I can't imagine many would attempt it.
ETA are you sure of getting a place from Harrow?
Currently (Saturday afternoon, so not rush hour) the journey time from central Harrow to the school is 50 minutes.

Thanks for your reply scary mum, we are more towards Pinner and 35-40 mins from here to school - Approx 12 miles. Is it hard to get in at this distance and score of 119. From the 2021 information, it suggested 112 got in the school and also buses coming from southall.scary mum wrote:I don't know the answer to your question but I would say that it's a terrible journey to do 5 days a week for 7 years.

Am I missing something? If so, please suggest. Thanks

No, just wanting to check you knew you would get a place. I guess Southall is easier to get to than Pinner. It's still an awful journey in the rush hour.

One way of getting the information you are looking for is by visiting the school at 3pm on a schoolday, and chatting with numerous coach drivers that are there to pick up from Herschel. You get more useful information this way.

Other Slough GS's have some form of coach travel - privately arranged with the operating company. LGS has a published list of operators on their website https://www.lgs.slough.sch.uk/page/?tit ... ing&pid=94" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and
so does StBCGS http://www.st-bernards.slough.sch.uk/373/transport" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I remember the only time I got into a coach when I was at school was when I went on a school trip or swimming classes. Brings back memories lol

Too far from Harrow plus the mad traffic on the motorway in the morning and the A312 is even worse.
