School Buses

All students who use the school buses must have their passes with them every time they travel. Bus drivers have been instructed to inspect passes on every journey so students should get into the habit of showing their pass without being asked.

Temporary bus passes will only be issued in cases of emergency and cannot be used to replace a lost pass. If a bus pass is lost, a replacement will need to be purchased from the County Transport Department.

Sixth Form students who use the school buses should have applied direct to the County for a pass. Drivers have been instructed by the County Council to refuse a place on their bus to any Sixth Form student without a pass. From time to time, we are aware that some students who have applied and paid have not received a pass. If this is the case, please inform Student Services and we will compile a list to reassure drivers until the passes arrive.
