How do I apply?
Coach delayed?
If a coach is delayed by more than ten minutes students should ring the College on 01373 465353. In the unlikely event that a coach has not arrived in another twenty minutes, students should telephone the College a second time.
Coach broken down?
If a coach breaks down either on the way to, or home from the College, students must remain with the coach until a relief vehicle arrives, or until instructed to do otherwise by a person in authority e.g. police. Somerset County Council cannot accept responsibility for the safety of students who disobey this instruction.
