School transport during bad weather
During the winter months our School Transport team will use a dedicated page on our website to provide updates on routes affected by weather or road conditions. The webpage can be found at www.scotborders.gov.uk/wintertransport and will be updated from 7.30am as and when required.
In times of bad weather please check whether transport is operating:
- on our dedicated update page
- contacting the transport operator
Parents should remember:
- in normal circumstances, children should not wait more than 15 minutes for the bus
- in severely cold weather please use your own judgement
- it is up to parents to decide whether their child should wait for the school bus
- if you decide to take your child to school yourself, you will be expected to collect your child at the end of the school day
