School Transport

BUSES

If you travel to school by bus you will be allocated a Bus Pass, unless you live “out of zone” for Mearns Academy. Your bus pass is a plastic covered ticket and you should carry it with you on all journeys. Drivers will ask to see your pass every day.

If you lose your bus pass you should report to the school office.

If you misbehave on the bus, the driver may remove your bus pass and hand it to the school office staff, and your parents will need to make arrangements to get you to/from school. The bus companies and school are in regular contact to discuss pupil behaviour and all pupils must understand that school rules apply on the journey to and from school. Serious misconduct on school transport may lead to the withdrawal of tickets or privileged passes.

All transport contracts are arranged by the Aberdeenshire Public Transport Unit and NOT by Mearns Academy. Each transport company will inform you of your pick up point and collection time.
