BUS PASSENGER BEHAVIOUR CONTRACT

CODE OF CONDUCT

All pupils have a right to feel safe and secure whilst travelling on our bus service. To this end, pupils are considered to be subject to normal School Rules from the moment of their arrival at their bus collection point in the morning until their return to that point at the end of the day.

Pupil Code of Conduct

Pupils must:

  • Be ready to board at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the allotted time standing at the bus stop. If late, the bus will be unable to wait. If your child does miss the vehicle, however, they will need to make their own way to school
  • Travel on their designated bus only
  • Be polite and respectful to the driver and all other passengers at all times
  • Follow any instruction from the driver without question – it is for their safety and the safety of others
  • Stay in their seats with seat belts fastened
  • Look after their belongings and keep them in a safe place
  • Take litter off the bus
  • If they see someone behave badly on the bus, inform the school or their parents. The driver’s role is to drive the bus safely and not to be responsible for dealing with any poor behaviour unless it affects safety

Pupils must not:

  • Shout, use bad language or make signs out of the window
  • Start arguments or engage in verbal bullying
  • Engage in fighting or ‘play fighting’
  • Distract the driver except in an emergency
  • Eat or drink on the bus
  • Take part in any other anti-social behaviour
  • Leave any items on the bus

Ask to be dropped off anywhere other than their agreed stop.

Warminster School provides a daily bus service to transport pupils to and from School as a service to assist parents and to reduce the number of parents who have to make the journey to School twice a day. It is not an automatic right that all pupils may use the School’s transport services. Pupils must comply with the Code of Conduct at all times. The School reserves the right to withdraw the use of the service from any pupil who fails to comply with the Code of Conduct.
