Uckfield College: September 2020 School Services

Please consider alternative ways of getting to and from school, such as walking or cycling, where this is a safe option.

If you travel in by car your school might ask you to drop off away from the main entrance to avoid any extra congestion.

If you travel in by public bus or school bus, minibus or taxi, these are some important things you need to know:  You should wash your hands before and after boarding  No standing will be allowed. Please sit with others in your bubble or year group where possible.  If you can, please keep your distance between students not in your bubble, as well as other passengers  Windows and sunroofs will be kept open where possible to help with ventilation  Face coverings are required by law for all pupils aged 11 and over on public , in line with government policy.  Children aged 11 and over should wear a covering on all school transport if they can, as well as younger children who are able. If a child has a reason which makes them exempt, please let your school know this. We need everyone’s help to make this workable - so please discuss the importance of wearing a face covering together.

Fares will continue to be charged on bus services available to students only, except students issued with a free bus pass. Please pay the exact bus fare so as to reduce cash handling. Stagecoach and & do not provide cash change. Stagecoach, Compass Travel and Brighton & Hove now also offer contactless payments by prepaid card, debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
