School Transport

We are aware that a number of learners have experienced issues with school transport at the start of term. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work closely with the local authority’s school transport team to support all learners in accessing travel to and from school.

We would like to remind all parents and carers that a valid bus pass is required for travel. If you have not yet applied for a bus pass, please do so as a matter of urgency.

In the meantime, temporary passes can be issued by our Pupil Hub Team to support learners until their permanent pass is available.

Please be aware that the local authority school transport team is working hard to ensure there are enough seats for all eligible students. However, when bus passes are not applied for, it makes it difficult to allocate seats accurately and may result in some buses being unable to accommodate all students on a route.

Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation.
