How do I register for the app?
Download the StudentSafe App on Apple Store or Google Play and click on the “register” button. You will need to provide your email address, which, for security reasons, must match the one you have registered with the School. The system will then send a One Time Passcode (OTP) to your registered mobile number for verification, again this must match the one registered with the School. Once entered, you’ll be prompted to set up your password.

My email will not work when registering?
If your email address does not match the one registered with the School, please contact [email protected] to update your details on the School’s system.

When registering my email, I didn’t receive a 6-digit code?
If you didn’t receive a code, it is likely that your mobile number doesn’t match the records held by the School. Please contact [email protected] to update your details.

How do I make a booking for the term?
Your initial termly booking should be made via the form on the Transport page of the School website. Bookings after this will automatically roll over to the next term unless you tell us differently, with the correct notice, by contacting the School on [email protected].

Bookings are only available for daily return journeys every day.  However, morning or afternoon-only places may be booked subject to space availability, please contact us on [email protected]. Should there be a demand on the route for full time places, a morning or afternoon place must either be upgraded to full time, or relinquished.

Bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis, and the school will try to accommodate all requests.

How do I make an ad hoc booking?
Please download the StudentSafe app and create an account. You do not need to have a termly booking to make an ad hoc booking, but there does need to be availability.

Same day bookings can be made by 6.00 am for pickup or by 3.00 pm for the afternoon drop off. Any bookings made after these times may not be registered by the driver and your daughter may not be collected.

My daughter has a friend staying, can I book a seat for her?
Her parent will need to set up an account on the StudentSafe app and make an ad hoc booking, assuming there is availability.

Where can I find the bus routes and timetables?
You can find detailed bus routes and timetables on this website or the Transport page of the main School Website. Explore each route to see bus stops and departure/arrival times.

What if I would like an additional stop?
Our service can be flexible, and additional stops may be added where there is sufficient demand and they fit within existing routes.

To request a new stop, please complete our short form for review by StudentSafe. All requests are assessed at the next half term or end of term, whichever comes first. If you have any questions or need help completing the form, feel free to contact us at [email protected]

What if I need a different stop or route during the week to accommodate my child’s regular travel?
While split bookings are not available, we understand exceptional circumstances may arise. Please contact us on [email protected] for assistance.

How do I change my schedule?
In the “My Bookings” section of the app, click on the “edit schedule” button. From there, you can switch between the morning and afternoon routes and adjust your schedule accordingly. Remember to save your changes.

How does billing work?

If I book my daughter on the bus but they do not travel, will I still be charged?

If I cancel my booking after half a term, will I get a refund?
No, as per our Terms & Conditions one full term’s notice in writing is required.

If I start my booking after half a term, will I be charged less?
