THE BOHUNT SCHOOL BUS NETWORK
Richardson Travel Ltd, has run a network of Bus Routes into the school since 1989.
Arrangements differ for pupils living inside the catchment area and for those outside the catchment area, please study the sections below.
SECTION ONE: FOR THOSE PARENTS LIVING WITHIN THE BOHUNT CATCHMENT AREA AND MEETING THE CRITERIA FOR “FREE TRAVEL” FOR THE NEW PUPIL.
Application for “free travel” has to be made to Hampshire County Council from whom the application forms are available. Richardson Travel Ltd cannot enter into any discussion as to entitlement to “free travel”. Children may use the services on payment of the normal cash fare until an application to HCC is processed and a Pass ordered.
Each child requires an individual and separate application even if siblings are already in receipt of “free travel”
Unless an application has been received and processed by the Council before the commencement of the new school year, your child will only be able to travel on the buses by paying the cash-fare until a Season Ticket is issued.
SECTION TWO: FOR THOSE PARENTS FAILING TO QUALIFY FOR “FREE TRAVEL” ON THE GROUNDS THAT THEIR HOME ADDRESS IS OUTSIDE THE BOHUNT CATCHMENT AREA.
THE NETWORK CURRENTLY SERVES THE BEACON HILL, HINDHEAD, GRAYSHOTT, HEADLEY DOWN, HEADLEY & LINDFORD AREAS TO THE NORTH AND THE PETERSFIELD AND MIDHURST AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. SEE PARAGRAPH BELOW OUTLINING PROPOSALS FOR A NEW DIRECT SERVICE SERVING MIDHURST, FERNHURST AND HASLEMERE.
Application forms are supplied by direct application to Richardson Travel Ltd, which can be by post, phone or email. The scope and capacity of the route network is entirely dependant upon the number of “registrations” received by a deadline, usually in mid-July.

ADDITIONAL NEW SERVICE UNDER CONSIDERATION
Serving Midhurst, Fernhurst and Haslemere Area.
For many years we have been asked to provide an additional "school's service" between Haslemere and Bohunt School but numbers have never been sufficient to make it a viable proposition.
However, given the ever increasing cost of fuel and now that Bohunt is proving such a popular choice for parents in the Midhurst, Fernhurst and Camelsdale areas, we are now seriously looking again into the provision of a "direct" service up the A286 and through parts of Haslemere.
Obviously, having to pay the wages of professionally qualified drivers and having the overhead costs of a commercial organization, it will be more expensive than the "Community Bus" but charges will all depend upon the number of parents supporting the service and will hopefully be no more than paid by parents on existing services.
Through the school, we will be contacting all the parents of current pupils and those joining in 2010 / 11 in the Haslemere Area & West Sussex. You can download the information in advance from the PDF Downloads listed below:-
Sorry, but we have been unable to generate enough parent committment this year to make this new service a viable proposition.
