SCHOOL TRANSPORT INFORMATION (COVID-19)
Due to the increase in confirmed Covid-19 cases within schools all learners are now required to wear face masks on school transport.
It is the responsibility of the parent/carer to provide face coverings. Three layer face coverings are recommended.
Some learners need not wear a face covering. This includes those for whom doing so would create a medical risk, cause distress, and in some situations where a learner has additional learning needs.
ALL learners will need to show their bus pass on every journey.
