Transport

Pick up and Drop off

Students are collected and dropped home directly from their residential address at the schedule time as advised by the Transport Office. Every care is taken to ensure buses travel the best route between home and school.

Health and Safety

The driver will only focus on driving the bus and getting to the destinations safely.

Students must remain seated and wear their seat belts at all times. The bus will not move if any student does not wear their seat belt.

There is a Nanny supervising the children on each bus who has received Safeguarding, basic first aid and Health and Safety training. 

Communication

Before the start of the term, the office will inform parents of the route and pick up times for the students. During the term, changes will be advised by phone. Where the bus is significantly delayed, the office will inform the parent and update them of the expected arrival time.

Where there is any change in the child’s / children’s travelling arrangement, parents must inform the transport office and Class Teacher in writing (email or note) giving at least a day’s notice to avoid delays.

To avoid misunderstanding or breakdown in communication, please do not give verbal messages through the Nanny. 

The Fleet

All the buses are air conditioned with radio and hand phone links to the office in the school. The buses undergo monthly servicing and inspections. All safety equipment, first aid kit, fire extinguisher and seat belts are regularly checked.

All the buses are equipped with a CCTV and a GPRS unit which will allows our operations team to track the position of the bus at 30 seconds intervals. We can also monitor whether the engine is on or off, whether the doors are open or closed, the travel speed and direction.

Bus Users

All children are expected to behave in the same was as they would in class with their teacher. In cases of discipline issues, the school leadership will be asked to assist.  Parents will be informed and may be asked to come to the school to discuss the matter.  In the extreme case where the student fails to be cooperative, access to the bus service may be withdrawn for a specified period.
