Transport To and to From School

If your child comes to school by car, you must not drive into the front car park which is crowded with staff cars and buses. Also, please do not drop them or pick them up in Oatlands Drive itself - use the side roads instead. If you visit the school, you must only park where permitted - not in places where double yellow lines indicate "No Parking".

If your child wishes to cycle to school, permission should be sought from their Head of Year. Make sure that their bicycle is safe and properly maintained and in winter they should wear safety armbands so that they can be seen by drivers. It is strongly advised that they wear a safety helmet . The school cannot be responsible for their bicycle while it is on school premises and you are advised to have it insured.

BUS TRAVEL . . . . .

Free bus passes are available for pupils who travel some distance - and you can get details by calling 01609 533693. Whether your child travels on a special school bus or a normal service, they are expected to behave responsibly as a member of the school at all times.

Bus Rules

Pupils who do not follow these simple rules may have their bus pass removed:
Pupils must not smoke or consume food or beverages on the bus.
Pupils must be orderly and reasonably quiet on the bus, to ensure maximum safety for everyone.
Windows may be opened with the approval of the driver, but pupils must not lean out the windows.
Pupils are asked to show respect to the drivers and other passengers.
Bus Pass Cards must be shown to the driver, as requested.
You must realise that bad behaviour will forfeit your place on the school bus.
