Owing to structural viaduct repairs on the A40 close to Swakeleys roundabout, the Beaconsfield coach has been severely delayed in the past few days resulting in the boys arriving late to School. In order to avoid boys arriving late, it will be necessary to bring the pick up times forward by 10 minutes at each stop with effect from, Monday, 19th May. These viaduct repairs are scheduled to last until 30th October 2008. This new timetable, therefore, will remain in force until the end of term. We very much regret any inconvenience this may cause you and your family.
