7. Can my child bring food onto the school bus?

Students are allowed to eat "sensible" food while travelling on the School Bus Service provided that it does not damage or cause litter to our coaches and that the waste is placed in a bin. Pupils are to tidy any mess created and take it off the bus upon exit at their stop. Failiure to do so will result in a warning and if repeated will involve an email to either the school or parent of the pupil.
