FARE STRUCTURE
The costs of the school bus service are mainly covered by the school but we do ask parents to contribute a small part of the cost as well.
The fares are included on the school bill and you will be charged in advance of the next term.
Fares are worked out on a zoning system as shown below that reflects the distance travelled from Wells. Please note that the chart shows the equivalent daily cost of the service but we always charge by the term not by the day.
We also offer family discounts for subsequent siblings.
Example: One child in zone 1 = £5.50 (no discount)
Two children in zone 1 = £8.25 (25%)
Three children in zone 1 = £8.25 (50%)
Four children in zone 1 = £11.00 (50%)
ETHOS
The Wells bus service is a constantly evolving scheme designed to be flexible to the needs of its customers. However, there are several factors that remain constant and these are set out below to help explain the philosophy behind the service.
Safety
The Environment
Independence
Activities and Homework
Complaints Procedure
Whilst we strive to run a reliable and efficient bus service, we recognise that at times problems may arise that we will need to resolve.
Any complaints about any aspect of the bus service, or indeed any suggestions to improve it, should first be directed to the Bus Service Co-ordinator, not to the bus company. They will endeavor to resolve any problems as quickly as possible. However, in the event of a more serious problem, the Bus Service Co-ordinator will liaise with the Director of Finance & Resources, Peter Knell, as to the best course of action.
Giving Notice
We require one billing term’s notice should you no longer require your place on the bus.
