Coach Services :: Safety

1. All pupils are issued with a valid bus pass which should be carried on every journey and shown to the driver or any official from Coach Services when boarding the coach. Lost or damaged passes should be reported to our office immediately.

2. Calls regarding lost property or lateness of the coach should be made directly to Coach Services.

3. All pupils must remain properly seated at all times for their own safety and seat belt should be worn, on no account should anyone put their feet on the seats.

4. All coaches should run according to the timetable and cannot wait for late passengers. Should you miss the coach, always have the money for a telephone call and know who to call, should the occasion arise. You should not take the offer of a lift unless you are absolutely sure it is safe to do so

5. Food and drink must not be consumed on the Coach

6. Smoking on the coach is strictly forbidden regardless of age and anyone found smoking will be instructed to hand over their Bus Pass and will no longer be allowed to use the service. Parents and Cheadle Hulme School will be notified accordingly

7. If you would like a friend to travel on the coach who does not normally use your route, Please notify Coach Services in advance of the day in question to ensure there is a spare seat. There is a charge of £3.00 per single journey.

8. Any pupil seated on the coach either without a valid Bus Pass or not having paid will be instructed to provide a name and address so that parents can be informed and invoiced.
