School Bus Service We operate six buses across Derbyshire which provide convenient and safe transport to school. School buses are shared with pupils from Derby Grammar School. Buses depart from school at approximately 3.45pm and 4.10pm on late days (Tuesdays & Wednesdays). The buses leave Derby Grammar School each day at 4.15pm. Late waiting is available for Junior School pupils on Senior School late days. All bus journeys are zoned and charged according to the distance from School. Use of the buses is billed on a termly basis. Ad hoc use of the bus is possible if spaces are available. Ad hoc journeys are charged at a flat rate of £5 per journey. Ad hoc journeys must be booked prior to travel and paid for via April Dunnicliffe-Smith in the Bursary department. A dated bus pass will be given for ad-hoc users. If there is demand for bus routes serving communities not currently on the timetable, we will consider implementing them. Please contact To reserve a place, please complete the attached booking form and email to [email protected] Reserving your seat The school bus service is popular and some routes can get full quite quickly. We recommend booking a seat in advance as early as possible. We ask you to commit to a place on the bus on a termly basis, and require a full term’s notice if you wish to stop using the bus. Once you have reserved a seat, there is no need to re-book for subsequent terms; a seat will automatically be reserved for your child/children until notice is given. It is possible to reserve morning, afternoon or return journeys. The charge for the bus will be added to your termly invoice. Prices Prices are based on the distance from school, incremental stop by stop, regardless of which of the 6 routes is used. There are 8 zones; zone 1 being up to 3 miles and zone 8 over 18 miles. ZONE MILEAGE PRICE PER JOURNEY 1 Up to 3 miles £2.35 2 5 £2.60 3 8 £2.95 4 11 £3.30 5 13 £3.55 6 15 £3.90 7 18 £4.25 8 Over 18 miles £4.50 Information Six buses operate to and from Derby High School and are shared with Derby Grammar School. Buses drop off and pick up from Derby High School first and proceed onto Derby Grammar School. At the end of the day buses depart from school at approximately 3.45pm (4.10pm on late days). We ask that pupil’s make their way to the bus as soon as possible after school has finished to avoid delays. Each bus has the route number displayed in the front window. If a pupil misses their bus they must inform the school office immediately. Route 1 picks up and drops off outside school on Pastures Hill. All other routes use the bus lay-by on Hillsway. School buses are available for Year 5 pupils and above. Younger children may travel on the bus if they are accompanied by older siblings. Late waiting is available for Junior School pupils on Senior School late days (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). School asks that older children collect their younger siblings from the Junior School and accompany them to the bus. Seats are allocated on a first come first served basis. The cost of the bus will be added to your school bill termly in advance. School cannot credit any ad hoc journeys not taken during the term. Once you have been allocated a seat there will be no need to re-apply in subsequent years. A place will be automatically reserved and charged each term until notice is given. If you wish to cease using the school bus please provide a term’s written notice. A ‘bus buddy’ can be arranged to ease the worry of the first initial journeys to and from school. Please arrange this with Miss Jinks. Glovers/Masons Coaches have been contracted by school to operate the school buses. They have confirmed that seatbelts are fitted on all vehicles and all of their drivers have enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificates. All passengers must remain seated and wear seatbelts at all times. Out of school hours (8.00am to 5.30pm) Glovers/Mason Coaches can be contact on 07976 525810. This number should only be used for genuine emergencies i.e. if the bus has failed to arrive at a stop etc. Please do not use this number to inform of late arrivals to the bus stop or sickness of children. Times printed on the timetable are accurate (weather, road and traffic conditions permitting). Times stated on the timetable are the times the bus departs from each stop. We advise pupils to arrive at their pick-up point at least five minutes before the bus is due to depart. Derby High School reserves the right to vary times and pick-up points due to changing needs. Prior notice will be given to parents of pupils affected. In the event of bad weather Derby High School will keep parents informed if buses are unable to operate, are required to depart from school early or if they are delayed on the return journey home.
