Stirling Council has a policy of providing free transport to pupils who live
more than two miles from the school. This policy is more generous than the
legal requirement.
Pupils who live in Plean and Cowie and the surrounding area who meet this
stipulation are provided with season tickets. Travel to school using these
season tickets can be on specific contract vehicles or normal service buses.
In the morning buses are scheduled as follows :
Cowie - Depart 8.25 a.m.
Plean - Depart 8.30 a.m.
At the close of school, buses are contracted to be at the school at 3.35 p.m.
leaving at 3.40 p.m. for Cowie and Plean. One bus travels to Plean, one
bus travels to Cowie and one the Plean and Cowie.
Season Tickets must be returned to school when the pupil leaves the school.
Lost tickets will be replaced by the bus company at a replacement cost of £3.
It is the parent's responsibility to ensure that the child behaves in a safe and
acceptable manner on the buses at all times. Misbehaviour may lead to the
child being banned from using public transport and it is the legal duty of the
parent to ensure that the pupil attends school.
In circumstances where a child has Special Needs, Stirling Council may provide
alternative transport to school.
