Dear Parents

We are aware that a number of students are choosing to wait for the second bus (service 555) which departs from Draycott later at 8.00am. This is causing overcrowding and there is a risk that the bus could be loaded above its legal capacity. Additionally, the later bus is not able to access the school grounds because of congestion and the driver is dropping students off at the road side.

To address these issues, both services will depart from Draycott at the same time of 7.50am Monday 30th September 2024. A copy of the updated timetables are below for information and students should travel on the bus they have been allocated to. We will monitor arrangements over the following few weeks and will make further changes if required.
