At Henlow Academy, we want to ensure our students have a safe, reliable, and smooth journey to and from school. For many of our pupils, the school bus is the most convenient way to travel.
Below you will find information regarding our council-run routes and our dedicated paid service.
The following routes are managed and operated directly by Central Beds School Transport. These services provide vital links for students living in our wider catchment areas:

J88: Serving Meppershall
J11: Serving Fairfield & Arlesey
Please Note: Eligibility, bus passes, and timetables for the J76, J88, and J11 are handled entirely by the local authority.
