How do I register?
To register, simply download the StudentSafe App and follow the ‘How To’ guide that will be emailed to you. You’ll need to provide your email address, which must match the one you’ve registered with the School for security reasons. The system will then send a One Time Passcode (OTP) to your registered mobile number for verification. Once entered, you’ll be prompted to set up your password.
My email will not work when registering?
If your email address doesn’t 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’s likely that your mobile number doesn’t match the records held by the School. Please contact [email protected] to update your details.
Where can I find the bus routes and timetables?
You can find detailed bus routes and timetables on this 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 different stops/routes during the week to accommodate my child’s regular travel?
While split bookings aren’t available, we understand exceptional circumstances may arise. Please email us at [email protected] for assistance.
How will billing work?
- Payment for regular contract bookings is processed by StudentSafe at the time of booking to confirm your child’s seat for the term.
- Payment must be made via debit/credit card on the parent app.
- Payment for all ad-hoc bookings is made via the StudentSafe App. Except for the Late Bus which is billed in arrears by the school.
What are the booking options for my child on the Stockport Grammar Home-To-School service for this academic year?
Bookings must be made for a minimum of 5 AM journeys or 5 PM Journeys. Priority will be given to parents who book both AM and PM.
How do I book my child(ren) on an ad-hoc journey?
Select ‘Make an ad-hoc booking’ from the menu options (top left) on the App, and follow the necessary steps. Further details can be found in the ‘How To’ guide you will have received.
Ad-Hoc bookings are per journey depending on their zone. Zones can be found in the timetable.
If I book my child on the bus but they do not travel, will I still be charged?
Yes, as the seat is reserved for your child, no other student can take that seat.
If I cancel my booking after half a term, will I get a refund?
No, billing is for the whole term to facilitate route planning and capacity prediction.
If I start my booking after half a term, will I be charged less?
No, billing is for the whole term. This allows us to plan the routes, stops and bus capacity. Please contact us directly in extenuating circumstances, which can be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the School.
How do I cancel / give notice for the bus service?
All bookings are termly and must be made in advance. If you wish to cancel partway through the term, you will still be charged for the remainder of that term.
What if I need to amend my travel arrangements before the start of term?
Please email us at [email protected], and we’ll assist you.
What if I need to amend my travel arrangements after the start of term?
Starting January, you’ll be asked to update your booking to reflect your child’s schedule for the upcoming term.

Wait at your stop for 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time.
Check the StudentSafe parent app for bus tracking and updates.
If the bus hasn’t arrived, contact the StudentSafe control centre at 0161 524 1412.
What if my child misses the bus?
While we recommend being at the stop at least 5 minutes early, our buses should not depart before their allocated time.
If your child misses the bus, you’ll need to arrange their journey to School and please notify us at [email protected]
Fobs
Pupils will receive fobs for easy boarding and disembarking.
These provide live tracking for your child’s journey to and from school, to ensure accurate parent notifications are sent via the StudentSafe Parent app.
Lost fobs can be replaced for a charge of £5 at the School office. Parents will need to pay for a replacement via the School’s WisePay system and the pupil will then be issued a replacement
