Traveling to/ from school

In the interests of the local environment and easing traffic flow, families are encouraged to consider: car-pooling, using the bus service, walking, or cycling to school.

Some students travel to school via the school bus service. They are expected to remain in their seats, with their seat belts on and behave in accordance with the ISPH code of conduct. Appropriate sanctions will be applied in accordance with the behaviour policy if students misbehave on the bus.

Morning Arrival at School

Students can arrive via Gate 1 (Main Entrance) or Gate 2 (ParkCity Club Entrance). Parents driving to school can drop their children along the main driveway.

Afternoon Departure from School

If a child has a younger sibling, then the oldest child will go to the collection point of the youngest child.

Students in EYC 

Early Year students should be collected by parents from the EYC at the end of the school day, unless travelling home on the bus.

Students in Year 1 and above

Students in Year 1 and above can be met by a parent on Level 1 or picked up by car along the main driveway. Older students may have permission from their parents to travel home unaccompanied (see below).

Unaccompanied travel to/from school

If parents wish for their child to walk or cycle to/from school unaccompanied, they need to submit a letter in writing to inform us of this and an ‘exit pass’ shall be issued. We recommend that children in Year 4 or below are always accompanied by an adult or older sibling. For those children who walk or cycle to/from school, it is vital that all necessary safety measures are taken by the parents before the child sets-off on their journey. Please also refer to the section ‘Cycling to School’.

We do not allow students to travel to/from school via a motorised vehicle, (e.g. motorcycle, motorised scooter, etc) unless a responsible adult is the person driving or specific permission has been granted.

Buses

Students travelling by bus are requested to meet their bus monitor at the foyer. Students will then be registered and escorted to their bus by their bus monitor. Students travelling by bus must head directly to the bus meeting point after dismissal and must not delay for any reason. The buses will not wait for students unduly. Students who are repeatedly late will be reported to the respective Head of School.
