Please ensure you have read the Transport Agreement, Transport Information for New Starters and the relevant bus company’s Conditions and Code of Conduct before completing a registration for your child. These are available under CSSE Transport resources on the website.
Please note we are only able to accept one registration for one service per student. We can only accept a registration for transport once your child has a confirmed space at the school.
For school services, you will be asked to choose a boarding point. Not all stops will be listed. Services will pick up at any designated stop on the route. Please choose the closest main stop to the one you wish your child to board at. If you have a specific query regarding the route/stops or operation of the bus service, please contact the relevant bus company for assistance.

IMPORTANT
A space on the bus is only confirmed when you receive our invoice and student ID for bus transport. We are unable to provide confirmation before that date.
Invoices are due to be despatched on the following dates:
Autumn Term 2025 – 23/05/2024
Spring Term 2026 – 24/10/2025
Summer Term 2026 – 13/02/2026
Places are allocated strictly on a first come first served basis, however, First Bus do offer priority for available places to students registering who already have a sibling travelling on the bus.
