As your Year 6 pupils prepare to move on to secondary school, we know that many of them will be catching the bus to school for the first time. To help make that transition easier and more affordable, we’d like to let you know about the Arriva Bus travel options available for the 2026/27 school year.

Arriva’s Student and Child Saver tickets are designed to help students save on their daily commute to school. These tickets offer unlimited travel before and after school, on weekends, and during school holidays, so students can travel confidently throughout the year.

For families’ convenience, we offer an easy‑to‑use Direct Debit system to spread the cost of these tickets over affordable monthly payments. There’s no setup fee, no minimum contract, and families can cancel at any time if their circumstances change.

We’ve attached a flyer with more details about the scheme.

Thank you for helping us support your students and their families as they move on to secondary school.

Save on bus travel – 2026

Dear Parents/Carers,

Year 6 will be having a Life Learning visitor (PSHE) at the end of term to talk about keeping ourselves safe in-person and online. Please see the parent communication directly from the visitor; please be reassured that this will all be discussed in an age-appropriate manner.

If you have any queries/questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Many thanks

Year 6 team
