School services
A key part of the school day
At CT Plus, we understand that providing a pleasant journey to school is part of having a great day at school. We provide a key element of the schools transport service on behalf of the Environment Department, ensuring that children and young people can get to school on time – and home again – in safety and comfort.
What are the routes and times?
Who is the service for?
The dedicated school bus service is for children and young people attending one of the primary or secondary schools as well as the Grammar School. It is particularly valuable for those children who travel to school from some distance away, therefore, on secondary and the Grammar school routes, priority is given to children who live over a mile away from their school. If you live less than a mile away from your child’s secondary school, your child will only be able to use the dedicated school bus service if there is room on the vehicle.
How much does it cost?
The dedicated school bus service is provided free of charge for any child or young person travelling on routes serving certain school catchment areas.
If you wish for your child to attend a school that is outside of the catchment you live in or you do not have a dedicated service close by, your child may use one of the scheduled service buses. They will not be charged providing they are in uniform and are travelling between 7am-9am in the morning and between 3.00pm and 5.00pm in the afternoon.
Pupils attending Elizabeth College, Ladies College and the College of Further Education who are sponsored by the States and who live in excess of 2.5 miles away are able to request a free multi-journey Ormer card from the States Education Department.
How does it work?
Children and young people can use the service to get to and from school in two different ways.
- There are dedicated school bus services that operate during term time. Children and young people can catch these at bus stops – or, if outside of Town, St. Peter Port or Bridge, St. Sampsons, they can ‘hail’ a bus and, provided it is safe, the driver will stop to pick them up. If choosing the ‘hail and ride ’option, please assess whether your child is doing this in a safe place.
- If your child’s school is on a regular bus route, they can also travel free on a scheduled service if they are in their school uniform and are catching the bus between 7am 9am and 3pm - 5pm
On the return journey, the dedicated school bus service will collect children and young people from their schools, dropping them off at bus stops along their route.
Which schools does it serve?
The dedicated schools network together with the scheduled bus service reach every States-funded school on Guernsey except for St. Martin’s Primary – where the school catchment area is local enough not to need a bus service – although certain services are provided by other operators and are not included in this information.
What are the routes and times?
More details of the routes and times for the dedicated school buses can be obtained from the Environment Department Tel. 243400. The routes and times of the scheduled bus service are available here. Dedicated school services operated by CT Plus are set out below. Sometimes, shool routes are affected by road closures and subsequent diversions. We'll update the routes below with diversion information, but you can find full details here.
