From Oxford station get the S2, S3, or S3A busses from Stop R4 at the station, and get off at Osberton Road, just outside the school.
From London by the Oxford Tube bus
Alternatively the Oxford Tube bus runs every 20 minutes or so at peak times from Victoria Coach station, also stopping at Marble Arch and Notting Hill Gate. This is often cheaper than the train, but does take longer.
Once you arrive at Gloucester Green Bus station get on any of the 6, 300, ST2, or X52 busses at George Street Stop A5, just outside the bus station, and get off at South Parade West, just outside the School.

Getting here by car
Driving in Oxford is not straightforward. You can’t drive through the centre of Oxford, as there are lots of pedestrian and bus only roads, the City Council have recently introduced traffic filters (unhelpfully marked ‘gates’ that will get you a £70 fine if you drive through one).
If you are driving, we recommend you arrive from the North using the A4144, as this will help you to avoid any fines.
