Warwick Schools Foundation operates a number of bus services across a wide catchment area of up to 30 miles. These extend as far afield as Solihull and Coventry to the north, Rugby and Napton to the east, Banbury to the south, and Bidford-upon-Avon and Henley-in-Arden to the west, exclusively for students within the Foundation schools.
Our Services
At The Kingsley School, our bus service provides safe, reliable home-to-school transport managed by a dedicated on-site team. All our minibus drivers are fully DBS checked, MiDAS trained, and First Aid trained, supported by specialist transport administrators and a fleet of Kingsley-branded vehicles. This ensures a safe, friendly and convenient way for students to travel to and from school each day.
For the 2025–2026 academic year, we have fully updated our fleet with ten minibuses, all less than a year old, offering the latest in comfort and reliability to ensure students arrive safely and punctually.
A sliding scale of fares is available depending on the distance travelled and the options chosen, such as AM-only, PM-only, or flexible bookings. Fares are calculated from the school campus, with sibling discounts available. Pricing for 2025–2026 is outlined below:

Warwick Campus Services
Kingsley students also have the option of using our Warwick Campus services, provided by our partner Zeelo. Zeelo operates home-to-school transport for schools nationwide, with services supported by technology such as online booking platforms, 24/7 customer service, live vehicle tracking and real-time service notifications.
Zeelo has also committed to becoming carbon neutral by September, aligning with our own Foundation sustainability goals. Most routes pick up and drop off at the Warwick Campus coach park on Myton Road, although some routes stop near Kingsley. These services are also a useful option for those taking part in Friday activities at Warwick Campus.
To view available routes to Warwick Campus, please visit the Zeelo website and select your nearest pick-up location. For further information on QR codes and boarding processes, please see our helpful guide.

We also encourage families to consider the wide breadth of public transport available, including bus and rail services. In particular, train services from locations such as Solihull, Banbury and Stratford-upon-Avon provide a quick and efficient journey to Leamington Spa station, ensuring students are ready for the school day.
