2026/27 Transport Guide

Transport Guide 2026 / 2027

Welcome

Contents

Dear Parents / Guardians, Thank you for taking the time to look at Sibford School bus service for the 2026 / 2027 academic year. This sets out the wide range of travel options available to the pupils at Sibford School.

All bookings for all routes can be made via the dedicated transport website. Other amendments and changes can also be made via the ‘My Account’ section of the website.

We are delighted to be partnered with Vectare, a specialist school transport management company, to manage the school bus service. Vectare will manage all aspects of the school’s service, and any enquiries can be directed to their team at via the ‘Contact Us’ form on the booking website.

For Junior School Transport, we use a mixture of coach hire and our own minibuses. Pupils in Year 3 and above may travel on our minibuses. Pupils in Year 4 and above may travel on coaches.

Younger pupils may be able to travel on minibuses/ coaches if accompanied by an older sibling and/or in certain circumstances - we ask that you seek approval for this from the Head of Junior School.

All bookings for school bus routes are made via our online booking system, which can be viewed at sibford.vectare.co.uk.

Terms & Conditions 1.

This agreement is made between all School bus passengers, their parents and Sibford School in order to provide safe and comfortable journeys for all passengers.

2.

Arrangements for pupils’ journeys to and from School are the responsibility of their parents. To assist with discharging this responsibility, Sibford School provides a School bus service.

3.

Transport on the School Bus Service must be arranged in advance via the online booking platform. If you wish to use the School Bus Service on an ad hoc basis, or make a one-off change to your child’s usual travel arrangements, you should book via the website before travel. A charge will apply for individual journeys, depending on location.

Any changes made on the day of travel must be communicated to the school by phone. We require such notifications at least two hours before the end of the school day.

4.

Bookings on the School bus service are non-refundable in the event of a pupil failing to travel.

6.

Bookings are to be made online via: sibford.vectare.co.uk.

7.

Each pupil for whom an online form has been submitted will be added to a bus list detailing the service they travel on, their bus stop and what travel has been paid for via the School bill. Their name will appear on a list which will be checked by the driver.

Scan the QR code to make a booking!

12

No pupil is permitted to travel on the School bus service if not pre-booked for that bus. Other arrangements for journeys to and from School must be made by them or their parents.

10. Pupils (with the exception of 6th form) must travel to and from Sibford School in full school uniform or a full school PE kit (except on approved non-uniform days).

11.

Pupils should be at the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled time of departure to ensure they don’t miss the service. In the evening, Junior School parents should be at the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled time of arrival to collect a passenger.

12. Good conduct is required at all times. In general terms, behaviour on school transport is governed by school rules. As such, transgressions of these rules will be treated as if they have taken place within school. Acting in an unacceptable way may result in a period of suspension from using school buses, as misbehaviour compromises the safety of both passengers and drivers. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in disciplinary action, including temporary or permanent withdrawal of permission to use the School bus service.

For safeguarding purposes, if your child will be travelling on the School Bus Service to another pupil’s home, whether by changing their usual travel arrangements or booking an ad hoc journey, the school must receive confirmation of the arrangement from the parent or guardian of the pupil they will be visiting. Confirmation of the arrangement must be received before any booking can be made.

5.

8.

9.

13. Except when embarking or disembarking, all passengers must remain seated with their seatbelts fastened correctly.

14. Whilst on a School bus, all passengers must accept without question the authority of a transport company official or a Sibford School staff member who may ask them to obey any reasonable instruction such as to pick up litter, desist from certain actions or to move to a different seat.

15. Sibford School aims for 95% of journeys to operate within the transport industry window of tolerance of one minute early to five minutes late, however timings may vary due to traffic conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Drivers will not wait past the scheduled departure time.

It will be the parents’ responsibility to inform the School via the ‘Contact Us’ form on the website if they no longer wish to use the School bus service. A full term’s notice must be given by a parent prior to the removal of a pupil from the School Bus Service.
