Outbound

All evening services will leave School at 6.20pm in order to allow students to participate in the programme of co-curricular activities and/or attend supervised Prep sessions.

Numbers of students using the evening services are generally a little lower than those in the morning, which means that some stops may not be necessary in the evening and routes may be shortened or combined (on certain days) as a consequence. The details shown below reflect the full service which will almost certainly be reduced once actual bookings are confirmed for the term.

General Information

All students may use the bus service provided that they have parental consent and are able to get on and off the coach/minibus and fasten and unfasten seatbelts by themselves. The coaches/minibuses only have a driver and the School does not provide staff to travel, assist or supervise.

School rules apply on the buses and any student who misbehaves will be subject to School discipline. In appropriate cases, the School will suspend the student’s right to travel on the bus for a period, or indefinitely, without the return of all or some part of the charge.

Queries in relation to the School Bus Service should be directed to Mrs Sue Davison, Assistant to the Director of Finance (sdavison@ratcliffecollege.com).
