Absence

Please remember that you are responsible for notifying the bus driver and/or Reception if your child will not be on the bus. In the morning, the person to call is the driver, on the emergency bus phone number for your route. If your child will be absent from the bus in the afternoon, please contact Reception on 01342 822275 or email [email protected]

If your child misses a trip due to illness or an alternative arrangement, please be aware it is not possible to arrange a refund.

Late Arrival

AM

If you will be late to your pick-up point in the morning, the driver will only wait for you if you have texted them to inform them of your ETA. It is down to the discretion of the driver to decide how long to wait for you. The deciding factor in assessing whether they can wait for you or not, is whether it will make all others on the bus late for school.

PM

Please ensure you are at your child’s collection point 5 minutes before the collection time. Drivers will wait for parents of children that must have a parent handover, but this will obviously have a detrimental effect on all other drop off times. Please inform the bus driver by text of all delays.
