Allocations and routes will be sent out during the summer holiday period.
Current students will be allocated places based on their current pick-up location. Bus routes change annually to ensure that all students can be accommodated, once allocated a route we request that parents and students respect that allocation; changes may be possible once the routes have been established.
Buses are allocated to ensure all students can be accommodated on their route to school, students must not switch buses without prior agreement with the school. Parents will be notified of the bus allocation and pick-up time before the end of the Summer holiday period.
The School operates a late bus service transporting students across ALL routes, both in catchment and the surrounding area, these late services run for all students at 4pm. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for students wishing to make use of the after-school clubs. Late bus users must collect a stamp in their planner before they can board the bus.
Please Note:- Return Journeys on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday will be determined by the number of students wishing to travel, this means that students may not be travelling on their allocated route home. Bus routes are often combined to ensure the quickest and most logical route to each destination.
