Which Prep Schools have a Bus leaving from Fulham / Parsons Green

Hi all,
I'm interested in sending my 8yo son to a country prep school (for the range of on site activities and open space which will be a reprieve from living in an apartment and crucially they do their homework at school and have flexi boarding options which is ideal for me). Within reasonable reach (1hour travel each way tops from Fulham) but am wanting a bus that will leave from Fulham.
I've looked at Lambrook & Papplewick, however the bus leaves from Brook Green at 7:15 and it'll take 25min to get there from Parsons Green.
*Woodcote house in Ascot has a bus from Fulham although the classes are quite small so not my top choice.
*Shrewsbury house in Surbiton has a bus from Parsons Green however the school isn't enough of a Prep school in terms of boarding & on site activities.
Can anyone suggest other Prep schools that have a bus leaving from Fulham / Parsons green?
Thank you!

Hi OP. If you can make the journey to the Papplewick bus work I highly recommend it and doubt you'd regret it. It's a phenomenal school. Lots come from London. Certainly worth a 25 min drop to the bus imho. Also worth asking them about implementing a new route / stop which might work better for you, as there may well be others near you. And / or I know some parents who live close to each other club together for a private minibus. Woodcote is lovely but yes very small. Lambrook too big for me!
Feel free to PM me if you like.

Most don't come into Parsons Green as the traffic is so bad in the evenings. You probably need to be prepared to take him 20 mins or so up to Hammersmith or down towards the A3 in Putney.

Feltonfleet if you can get your son to Putney each morning and collect from there. Remember the buses leave early so it is just about before rush hour.
Caldicott go from Hammersmith Bridge
Millbourne Lodge go to Putney
Danes Hill go to Putney
