Pupils at Shrewsbury come from all over the country and we believe this is a real strength of the School.
To support parents, the School arranges for a fleet of coaches to deliver your child to a point near where you live – and to pick them up from the same point to head back to Shrewsbury.
Coaches operate at the start and end of term, at either end of half-term and on one weekend either side of half term when the whole school is entitled to head home – what we call ‘coach weekends’. Each route has certain predetermined drop-off or collection points. Routes are reviewed annually and may vary from one year to the next, subject to demand.
Note: No regional coaches operating outbound on 17 October 2026, Manchester and Heathrow coaches only. Full service available on 1 November 2026.
All coaches are provided by Longmynd Travel, a reputable local company. Shrewsbury School has worked with them for over 25 years. A professional chaperone service is provided on all London routes.
Please find below details of our coach routes; please also see our Coach Routes and Timings 2026-27 which includes full details of how the coach system works, timetables, etc and Chaperone Information for arrivals at Heathrow Airport.
