Guidelines on using a School Bus

Pupils must arrive at their stop 5 minutes before the advertised time. Pupils must wait at the bus stop and not in cars. If the drivers do not see anyone at the stop then they will not stop.

Bus passes must be shown to the driver on all journeys. If your son/daughter has a mobile phone, it is a good idea to take a photograph of their bus pass just in case they forget it or lose it.

Coach and minibus drivers aim to reach each stop at the advertised pick-up time. However, unforeseen circumstances with traffic delays can result in coaches and minibuses, being delayed at certain stops. On these occasions, pupils must follow the instructions below.

If your bus is late in the morning:

1. Wait 10 minutes; then the most senior pupil at the stop should ring the bus / coach company.

Chapel End Coaches 024 7635 4588 Travel de Courcey 024 7630 2656 Marcus Lewis 024 7659 4290

2. If the bus doesn’t arrive by the new time given by the coach company, please ring Coventry School Foundation Transport Manager 024 7627 1328 / 07590 882921
