Expectations for travelling on a School Bus

Students must be at their bus stop, 10 minutes before it arrives (Hampshire bus route timetables are available below). In addition...

  • Students must have their bus pass with them on all journeys.

  • Students must not get on the bus, if they are not approved to travel by Hampshire Transport.

  • Students must comply with the behaviour requirements set out by Hampshire Transport and Hounsdown School. Failure to do so, may result in loss of bus pass for a set period of time or permanently, in conjunction with a serious sanction.

  • Students must be polite and courteous to the bus driver at all times, as well as the other passengers.

  • Students must remain seated with their seat belt fastened, for the duration of the journey.

  • Students must treat the interior of the bus with respect.  Eating, vaping/smoking, vandalism, feet on seats etc., is not permitted.

  • Students must not distract the driver and ensure that noise level and their choice of language, is acceptable at all times.

  • Students must only travel on the bus they are allocated to.

  • Students must not get on a bus to a friend’s house (unless they have been allocated passes for the same bus), as they will be instructed to leave the bus.

Late Buses

The school provides a late bus service, which runs every Tuesday and Thursday, leaving school at 4:10pm promptly.  This service is only for students attending a lesson / club / activity on the school site after the normal school day finishes.

To use this bus, students must sign up outside Student Services the day before they wish to use it.  They will not be allowed to use the bus, if they have left the school site at 15:00 / end of the normal school day.

The late bus driver will only service the route.  Students cannot request additional stops.
