Code of Conduct for Pupils
We have a code of conduct because we want everyone to travel in comfort and stay safe. To make sure this happens, all pupils must follow this code of conduct. While travelling to and from school you are still subject to your school’s rules and behaviour policy. This code of conduct is an extension of Parkfield School’s policy.

Each bus has a chaperone and attendance is taken daily.
If your child is not on the register they will not be allowed on the bus as there are a limited number of spaces available, these will be allocated on a first come first served basis. However, there is capacity and pupils need regular service but not necessarily every day of the week. This may be possible, after consultation with the school.
Payment for each term must be made in advance through WisePay, by the end of the first week back.
Please be advised that students will only be allowed to travel if they have paid in full by the end of the first week of term. The bus will not prevent a pupil from coming into school. However, you will be required to collect your child from the school, if payment or contact with the school has not been made, to arrange alternative arrangements. There will be no refunds for part use of the bus service, whether this is due to strike days, natural disasters or parental choice. Refunds due to change of school will be considered but not automatically given.
If you are attending after-school clubs
Students can also use the airport bus services if appropriate following an after-school club. Parkfield School bus passes will not be accepted on this service.
Student Safety
Where there are seatbelts on the bus or coach, these must be worn at all times to abide by our insurance regulations. All pupils are expected to comply with the code of conduct above. The school has the right to remove any pupil from the bus service and subsequently, in this case, there will be no refund for any part of the bus pass purchased and unspent.
