Guidance for mainstream students

If your child attends a mainstream setting, this is what they may need to bring with them on their transport.

Bus or train pass

The majority of mainstream students using home to school transport will be provided with a bus pass. They will need their bus pass to board. Train passes will require a photo ID card to board.

If your child loses their pass you will need to apply for a new one. The cost of a replacement is listed on our fees and charges page. 

Please contact the team via schooltransport@n-somerset.gov.uk to order your replacement. You can also ask the team for a temporary pass.

If your child needs a car or booster seat, it is your responsibility to provide a standard child seat for use on school transport. Please note that not all vehicles have Isofix fittings available.

Where possible, please ensure that any equipment supplied is compatible with a standard three-point seatbelt. 

All safety equipment must be in a clean and safe condition to be accepted on home to school Transport services.

If you have questions about the service, or concerns about your child's experience on the service, please speak to either:

• your school
• the home to school transport team via schooltransport@n-somerset.gov.uk

We are committed to promoting the welfare and safeguarding of children and will take all enquiries or concerns seriously.
