School transport

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:

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
