School Transport

Sion School encourages car sharing for all pupils (and staff) wherever possible – we expect all families to give this option their full consideration.  Car sharing helps the environment by decreasing carbon emissions by lowering the number of cars on the road – creating and maintaining a better future for our children. We are an environmentally conscious school and expect all our families to join us in making positive steps to reducing our carbon footprint.

Every weekday, the school minibus runs a return service to the Senior School. Our school minibus routes are determined on a year by year basis in line with demand and always with a view to trying to accommodate as many collection areas as possible. However, spaces are subject to availability and a waiting list system is used.

We try to arrange mutually agreeable bus stop locations in safe and convenient places and currently operate a number of minibus routes, each with multiple stops, spanning a large area:

• Westerly routes include stops up to and including the outskirts of Littlehampton
• Easterly routes routes include stops up to and including the outskirts of Hove
• North Westerly routes include stops up to and including Pulborough
• North Easterly routes include stops up to and including Henfield
• Several of our routes include stops in Worthing and surrounding areas

Junior School children can use the bus from Year 3 onwards or younger if they have an older sibling that they can travel with.

The commitment to use the minibus service is for a minimum of one term.

Applications can be made at any time, although early booking is encouraged to secure a space.

Parents and pupils are asked to sign a Terms and Conditions Agreement.
