Is there any private coach service from Maidenhead to SWBGS? |

It's not my area, but are you in catchment from Maidenhead? I know the allocation distances are very small & don't usually go outside catchment. |

Yes. We are in the catchment and hence the question. I know someone who travels from Maidenhead by train. But I want to know if there is any private coach service. |

Are you in the part of Maidenhead which is in catchment? If not you are unlikely to get in. There is a coach - details will be on Bucks transport- as you are not in County it will be VERY expensive! Most Maidenhead/ Cookham children go on the train. |

The train is probably more flexible (allows after school activities as such without relying on mum/dad taxi to get home) and cheaper, so if that’s viable option I’d go for that rather than trying to find private transport. |

We are in the part of Maidenhead which is in the catchment of SWBGS. Thanks Tinkers! Train option seems more sensible. |

Agree totally with Tinkers - I have just looked it up on Bucks website and athe School bus will be £1166 - this school year and I guess more next. My children are at SWBGS - we live in Bucks and they go on the school bus - at best I have a max of 2 days a week they both come home on the bus. The train will be cheaper and more flexible. You can apply for a bus space after your child has received an offer. |

Thanks for the information kittymum! Train option is fine but I'm just worried about the walking distance from Marlow stn to SWBGS. |

'16 min (0.8 mi) via Station Rd' According to Google. So not a very long walk. However, I don't know the area - how flat (or otherwise) is it? |
