Bus Services

Thank you for using our school bus service. To ensure that we operate this service efficiently, we need to know the number of students taking the bus prior to the start of each term.

Therefore, booking for a place on bus is for a whole term. Should you wish to withdraw your child from the service, you are required to advise the school in writing by mid term in order not to be billed for the next term.

Decision to withdraw from a service during a term will not entitle you to a refund as the resulting vacancy will most likely not to be filled by another child once term is in progress.

Thank you for your kind co-operation.

The flexible bus service is charged at a fixed weekly rate. This means if you only utilize the service for one or two days, you will still be charged a fixed weekly rate.
