School Run Taxis in Farnham Common
From the A355 and Crown Lane to Farnham Royal and Egypt: village school, prep and grammar runs with a licensed, DBS-checked driver and a fare fixed before the first morning.
Which Farnham Common school journeys do we handle?
All of the everyday ones. We run to the two village schools, the Caldicott and Dair House preps in Farnham Royal, and the South Bucks grammars, planning each pickup around your family's real morning. The fare is agreed and fixed before the first run, with no meter and no peak-time surge, and the driver is licensed for private hire and DBS-checked.
Farnham Common sits on the A355 between Slough and Beaconsfield, on the edge of Burnham Beeches. We are a Gerrards Cross firm roughly four miles away, and our drivers use the A355 daily, including the stretch past the infant school on Beaconsfield Road.
Most families settle into a standing arrangement with the same driver through the term, but a morning-only, afternoon-only or few-days-a-week pattern works just as well.

Which schools do Farnham Common children attend?
The village has two state schools run as a federation, Farnham Common Village Schools. Farnham Common Infant School is on Beaconsfield Road and takes children from 3 to 7, and Farnham Common Junior School is on Sherbourne Walk for ages 7 to 11. Farnham Common Junior School is one of the schools we cover on our daily runs, and we run to the infant school too.
Two independent preps are close by in Farnham Royal. Caldicott, on Crown Lane, is a boys' prep school. Dair House School, at Bishops Blake on Beaconsfield Road, is co-educational and offers a breakfast club from 7.30am to 8.25am and after-school care from 3.30pm until 6pm. That wraparound care is useful to know: if your child stays on until 6pm, we can book the collection for then rather than the end of lessons. We regularly run to both preps.
For secondary, we carry pupils to Burnham Grammar School, Beaconsfield High School, John Hampden Grammar School in High Wycombe and The Beaconsfield School, along with the independent and grammar options around Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield. Burnham Grammar, on Hogfair Lane, rings its warning bell at 8.40am and finishes at 3.30pm.
How do grammar school places work for Farnham Common families?
In two stages: qualify, then be offered a place. Children at a state-funded Buckinghamshire primary sit the Secondary Transfer Test automatically early in Year 6 unless their parents withdraw them, while children at partner schools or living outside the county must be registered. A score of 121 or more qualifies.
Places are then allocated by each grammar school's admission criteria. The Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools explain that the usual order puts looked-after children first, then pupil premium pupils, siblings and children living in the school's catchment area, and then everyone else by distance from home. They are also clear that qualified children living outside a school's catchment have a lower chance of a place there. The council's Find my child a school place service lets you check the catchment schools for your address.
Once you know the school, tell us and we will build the daily route. Our guide on choosing a school run taxi covers the questions to ask any provider.

How much is a school run taxi in Farnham Common?
We quote per route. Where you live (the village centre, Farnham Royal or out past Egypt Lane), which school your child attends and whether you need mornings, afternoons or both all change the figure. You get one fixed price, paid daily or as a single termly amount agreed at the start of term, and it is the same in the September rain as on a June afternoon.
Local KnowledgeWhich parts of Farnham Common do you cover?
Every part of the village and the surrounding SL2 lanes, from the centre and Up End down into Farnham Royal and out to the hamlet of Egypt by Burnham Beeches.
- Farnham Common village centre and Up End
- Beaconsfield Road (A355)
- Crown Lane
- Bedford Drive and Stewarts Drive
- Sherbourne Walk
- Farnham Royal
- Egypt and Egypt Lane
The A355 is the village's spine, running north to the M40 at Junction 2 and south towards Slough and the M4, and the infant school sits right on it, so our drivers allow for school-time traffic on Beaconsfield Road when they plan a pickup.
What should I ask about safety before booking?
Ask whether the driver holds a private hire licence, whether they are DBS-checked, and whether the firm will supply the right child seat. All three answers are yes with us. It matters because the law treats taxis differently: GOV.UK allows a child to travel in a taxi or minicab without a child seat if the driver does not provide one, as long as they sit in the back. We would rather the question never arises, so tell us each child's age and height and the correct seat will be fitted.
The same drivers cover Farnham Common airport transfers, including Farnham Common to Heathrow, and everyday local taxis in Farnham Common. For the wider service, visit our school run taxi hub, and for family days out nearby see Stoke Poges and Burnham Beeches by taxi.
Farnham Common School Run Questions
Can you run to Farnham Common Junior School from Farnham Common?
Yes, Farnham Common Junior School is one of the Farnham Common-area schools we cover on our daily runs. Give us your address and whether you need mornings, afternoons or both, and we will quote a fixed fare for the junior school run.
Can you handle the run to Caldicott or Dair House School?
Yes. As well as the village state schools we regularly run to the independent preps around Farnham Common, including Caldicott and Dair House, with the same DBS-checked driver kept on the route wherever possible.
Do you cover grammar school runs from Farnham Common?
We do. We carry pupils to Burnham Grammar School, Beaconsfield High School and John Hampden Grammar School, and to the grammar and independent schools around Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield.
Can you collect from Dair House after-school care?
Yes. Dair House runs after-school care from 3.30pm until 6pm, so tell us the usual collection time and we will build it into the route.
Are the infant and junior schools on the same site?
No. Farnham Common Infant School is on Beaconsfield Road and the junior school is on Sherbourne Walk, so with a child at each we plan two drops in a sensible order.
Can I book the school run for just some days of the week?
Of course. Some families want every school day covered, others only the days work makes the run impossible. We set up a full week or a few fixed days, both at a price agreed up front.
Can children from more than one family share the run?
Yes. A shared run between neighbouring Farnham Common families is a cost-effective option, and each family agrees its fixed fare in advance.
Do you supply child seats?
Yes, on request. Give us each child's age and height when you book.
