School Coach Bookings
Parents/guardians must place bookings via the City Junior School Parent Portal. The booking window will open for bookings ahead of each term. We’ll be in touch to provide sufficient notice for placing bookings.
The school offers places on its coach service, based on bookings and payments being completed, on a first-come, first-served basis. The school will do its utmost to accommodate all requests for use of the service.
Journeys booked but not taken are non-refundable.
Amendments / Cancellations
Amendments to bookings (for example: frequency, route, pick-up location, or drop-off point) should be made by emailing cityjunior@studentsafe.com. All bookings are for the term and will be required to be booked in advance of each term. If you wish to cancel your child's coach provision part way through the term, you will still be charged the full amount for the remainder of that term.
Use of the Service
Students can only travel on the route for which they are registered. Ad hoc bookings for occasional journeys will not be allowed.
Parents/guardians are asked to remind their children that when travelling on the school coaches they remain bound by the School’s Behaviour Policy.
Parents/guardians are asked to remind their children that they must abide by the school’s Student Code of Conduct (detailed below).
The journey tracking App is now live and ready for parents to use.
Changes to Service
The school reserves the right to make route alterations after publication but will provide notice of any such action.
Payment and Charges
City Junior School charges a flat rate termly cost for journeys of £850.
StudentSafe will not handle payments; these will continue to be taken by the school. You will be billed termly.
Lost Property
Should a student leave any item on a school coach then parents should contact StudentSafe via email on cityjunior@studentsafe.com to report the loss providing the coach route and a description of the item(s).
StudentSafe will contact the coach company to find out if the item has been found. Students can then collect the item, ideally on the next school run.
Student Code of Conduct
Students must:
Be ready to board at the allotted time. If late, the coach will be unable to wait.
Travel on their registered coach 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 coach.
Students must not:
Distract the driver, except in an emergency.
Leave any items on the coach.
Ask to be dropped off anywhere other than their agreed stop.
