About us Parents Boarding 6th Form Partners Contact us Log in Transport Free school transport to and from school is available to any student below the age of sixteen who lives further than three miles from the school and for whom QE is the designated school. All school transport is handled by Devon County Council, so any requests or inquiries about this issue need to go straight to them using the link on this page, or phone 01271 388552. This includes decisions about who may or may not travel on school buses. More details are available in the Guide for Parents. We would encourage students to cycle or walk to school if they can do so safely and provide lockers and bike storage facilities for those who do. In cases where buses cannot run because of severe weather, a message will appear on the top right of this website, text messages will be sent to parents and local radio stations will be informed, usually by 7.30. School Transport Queen Elizabeth's supports the (DCC) Devon County Council's "No Pass No Travel Scheme" that operates on transport to and from this school. Only students who show a valid travel pass to the driver on every journey will be allowed to travel. Students must travel on the vehicle indicated on their pass. Please ensure that your child has their travel pass before they leave home every day. Please ensure that your child knows what to do in the event they are not allowed to travel or the bus does not arrive (e.g. because of breakdown or traffic conditions or severe weather). School attendance is very important and it is best to be prepared for any of these eventualities. DCC will carry out regular pass checks throughout the year. Drivers are not allowed to carry passengers who cannot show a valid pass. If your child loses their pass during the day they should go to the administration office to ask for a 10 day temporary pass. Replacement passes cost £5 each and can be ordered online, or by sending a cheque with a replacement form.
