Transport
 School transport is principally organised and
 managed by the College. The Yateley coach route
 and Godalming taxi service are managed by
 Farnborough Hill. Parents need to check with
 the coach organisers that a place on the coach is
 available. Coach travel is extremely popular and
 places are always in great demand. It is vital to
 book early as places cannot be guaranteed.
