Westholme School

Coaches

Westholme School runs a coach service to a wide catchment area for the use of any Westholme pupil.

Our youngest pupils frequently travel by coach. Whilst many parents prefer to collect their children personally, this is not always possible due to logistics and working patterns. You can rest assured that they will be put onto the coach safely. Whilst we cannot take responsibility in loco parentis, however, we encourage the older pupils to look out for the little ones. This reflects the ethos of the school and is evidence of the caring nature of our community.

Routes and timetables are reviewed every summer to accommodate the demand for places and stops. The charges for using the coach service are reviewed at the same time and, in general terms, tariffs are based on the distance travelled. Current charges for specific routes can be obtained from the Bursar's Secretary. Parents are asked to book the requirement for each academic year at the start of the previous summer. Providing there are spare seats, pupils can use the service for occasional casual journeys, but need to check in advance with the Bursar's secretary for availability and purchase a ticket.
