away and we offer a pick up / drop off service to meet the trains at the

beginning and end of the School day. In order to ensure there is always a

bus available to pick up / drop off your child you do need to let us know

that you intend using the rail service.

By School Bus Now 8 bus routes and revised pick up / drop off points. We offer a bigger daily bus network than any other school.

Priority : Number of seats on a route is limited. A) Priority given to parents requiring return journey 5 days a week. B) Next priority is given to parents wanting min of five single jour-neys per week eg every am. C) Finally parents requiring two or three single journeys per week will be accommodated if there is space. It is a condition that parents booking under the situa-tions of ( B ) or ( C ) above accept, if a bus route is at passenger capacity and then there is a request for an additional booking under the situation of ( A ), the child travelling the least number of journeys per week must lose the facility. This ensures the buses are used to the maximum possible capacity on all jour-neys. Booking under ( B ) or ( C ), even at the beginning of a term - for the whole term, cannot guarantee a seat for the whole term if demand increases under ( A ) part way through a term.

SCHOOL TRANSPORT Enquiries regarding the buses & rail travel should be made to: The School Transport Co-ordinator : Tel: 01423 33 33 00.The buses are available for booking on a termly basis in advance and the charge can be placed on the school bill. A full term’s notice is required to cease use of the bus service or the bus charge will be billed in lieu of notice. It is also possible for students to book the bus on an incidental basis, if there is a space available, 2-3 days in advance through the school office, and the associated cost will be charged to the school account.

All the times are approximate, but as a general guide, parents should be at the stopping points prior to these times to be on the safe side. Once you have checked availability, please complete the form and return to the school office. The school office is open from 8.00 am - 5.30 pm. It is possible that the buses will return after this time. If you are unable to collect your child from the bus stop at the correct time, you may need to ring the number below.

Out of hours telephone number: 07989 382 625

Terms & Conditions: Priority : The number of seats on each bus route is obviously limited. A) Priority is always given to parents requiring a return journey five days a week. B) The next priority is given to parents wanting a minimum of five single journeys per week eg every morning. C) Finally parents requiring two or three single journeys per week will be accommodated if there is space.

It is a condition that parents booking under the situations of ( B ) or ( C ) above accept, if a bus route is at passenger capacity and then there is a request for an additional booking under the situation of ( A ), the child travelling the least number of journeys per week must lose the facility. This ensures the buses are used to the maximum possible capacity on all journeys. Booking under ( B ) or ( C ), even at the beginning of a term - for the whole term, cannot guarantee a seat for the whole term if demand increases under ( A ) part way through a term.

Travel time between stops will vary according to traffic and weather conditions. Scheduled times are therefore subject to small variation. There may be a restriction in the amount of time a bus can wait safely at scheduled locations. It is therefore essential that students must be at their respective stops a minimum of 5 minutes before scheduled departure time. Similarly, parents collecting their children from the return service must also be present 5 minutes before scheduled arrival time.

If parents are not able to reach the bus service to collect their child, the child will be retained on the bus and returned to school to be taken to the boarding house from where they can be collected. If an emergency occurs and you are unable to collect your child until quite late, we can make arrangements for your child to have supper and if necessary, we can provide overnight accommodation, night clothes etc. Unless the school office has received prior notification, children will not be handed over to friends or neighbours.

All buses are fitted with seatbelts. It is therefore conditional that children wear their seatbelts at all times. We reserve the right to exclude any child from the bus service for the breach of these terms or for continued misbehaviour.

Important Note: Buses will only stop to pick up or drop off pupils at the stops designated in this booklet / form. Asking the bus driver to do you a “favour” and pick up / drop off elsewhere will mean, when this becomes known, the practice will be stopped and the driver will lose his job. Only the Governing Body has the authority to vary a bus route. Thank you.

Have your child use the School Daily Bus Service Save Time, Save Money, Save the Planet

Did you know our school bus routes offer the most comprehensive service of any independent school in the area? We now cover an area in excess of 1,300 square miles. This means that even more parents will now have a pick-up/drop-off point within closer proximity to their home.

Save time – In most instances, parents will have a bus collection point within either walking or a short driving distance from home, thus saving the time taken driving back and forth to school once or twice a day.

Save Money – The RAC calculate that the cost of running an average family saloon (2001 to 2200CC Engine Size) is currently around 76 pence per mile for Diesel cars. The table below indicates savings possible using the bus compared to your own transport, based upon 33 weeks, three terms.

Save the Planet – We operate buses ranging from 8 to 33 seats on our daily routes and have available 70 seater coaches for school visits. To match this capacity would require very many cars resulting in much higher emissions of pollutants. The more students using school transport, the greater savings in greenhouse gases. We urge you to please use the school daily bus service. Full details and booking form inside. Thank you. Note: These figures are based upon Diesel engine cars at 76 pence per mile.
