How do I register?

To register, simply click on the "register" button located in the bottom right corner of the Parent App home home page. You'll need to provide your email address, which must match the one you've registered with the School for security reasons. The system will then send a One Time Passcode (OTP) to your registered mobile number for verification. Once entered, you'll be prompted to set up your password.

My email will not work when registering?
If your email address doesn't match the one registered with the School, please contact data@ipswich.school to update your details on the School’s system.

When registering my email, I didn’t receive a 6-digit code?
If you didn't receive a code, it's likely that your mobile number doesn't match the records held by the School. Please contact data@ipswich.school to update your details.

Where can I find the bus routes and timetables?

You can find detailed bus routes and timetables on this app. Explore each route to see bus stops and departure/arrival times.

What if I would like an additional stop?
Our service can be flexible and additional stops can be added if there's enough demand and if they fit within the current routes. Feel free to contact us at ipswichschool@studentsafe.com for assistance.

What if I need different stops/routes during the week to accommodate my child’s regular travel?
If you require split bookings,  please email us at ipswichschool@studentsafe.com for assistance.

How will billing work?

Contract bookings made in line with billing deadlines will be added to your termly invoice by the Ipswich Schools fees department. These deadlines will be communicated throughout the school year.

For ad hoc bookings, payment will be processed by StudentSafe at the time of booking. Payment must be made via debit/credit card via the StudentSafe parent app.

If I book my child on the bus but they do not travel, will I still be charged?
Yes, as the seat is reserved for your child, no other student can take that seat.

If I cancel my booking after half a term, will I get a refund?
No, billing is for the whole term to facilitate route planning and capacity prediction.

If I start my booking after half a term, will I be charged less?
No, billing is for the whole term. This allows us to plan the routes, stops and bus capacity.

How do I cancel / give notice for the bus service?
All bookings are termly and must be made in advance. If you wish to cancel partway through the term, you will still be charged for the remainder of that term. We require a terms notice for any cancellations or amendments, in line with our Terms and Conditions.

What if I need to amend my travel arrangements?

If you need to update your booking to reflect your child's academic and co-cirricular schedule for the upcoming term please email us at ipswichschool@studentsafe.com, and we'll assist you. All other requests for amendments to travel will be processed in line with the Cancellation Policy (refer to Terms and Conditions).

What to do if the school bus is running late?

Wait at your stop for 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time.
Check the StudentSafe parent app for bus tracking and updates.
If the bus hasn't arrived, contact the StudentSafe control centre at 01473 974264.

What if my child misses the bus?
While we recommend being at the stop at least 5 minutes early, our buses should not depart before their allocated time.
If your child misses the bus, you'll need to arrange their journey to School and please notify us at ipswichschool@studentsafe.com

Fobs
Pupils will receive fobs for easy boarding and disembarking.
These provide live tracking for your child’s journey to and from school, to ensure accurate parent notifications are sent via the StudentSafe Parent app.
Lost fobs can be replaced for a charge of £5 at the School office.
