Dear parents/guardians 

I’m sure that you are aware of the issue we had with the buses provided by Adventure Travel yesterday afternoon at Heath park. Unfortunately, the bus that the Local Authority provides for us failed to turn up without warning and our PE staff were left at the park with no explanation.

The teachers contacted the school and made sure that appropriate staff were aware that they would be delayed. After waiting for a short time in case the buses arrived late, the teachers decided that the best course of action was to walk back to the school. This was after the teachers tried to contact the company on a number of occasions. You should have received a text from us to inform you that your child would be late back to school.

I immediately contacted the local authority to complain about this incident. The LA have contacted the bus contractor to impress on them the importance of arriving on time to collect students. We will continue to liaise with the LA to monitor the situation.

We are very grateful for your understanding in this matter and please be assured that we are in continuous contact with the LA to express our concerns that our staff, parents and students were placed in this situation. 

Yours sincerely

S Davies
