Message to Families about the Free Bus Travel for Young People (Aged 5-21)

As you may know, the scheme launched in January this year allowing children and young people aged 5-21 who live in Scotland to travel for free by bus with a valid National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot NEC. We’re already seeing lots of young people benefitting from the scheme, and in September we launched a nationwide marketing campaign to increase awareness and understanding of the scheme and to encourage even more young people to apply.

The website, freebus.scot, has lots of information about free bus travel, how it works, how to apply, the benefits and some tips for travelling safely too.

Drumchapel High School will hosting our next Learning Community Parents Forum. This meeting will take place on Wednesday the 9th of November 2022 at Drumchapel High from 5-6pm. We would like to invite you along to this meeting. Miss Davidson our Headteacher will be in attendance along with the Head Teacher and Depute Head Teacher from Drumchapel High and a representative from the Drumchapel Empowerment Improvement Group.

Communication with our families and wider school community is very important to us. We want to keep in touch with you in order to keep you updated about your child/children’s progress as well as letting you know about events and opportunities across the school community. As such it is vitally important we have the most up to date contact details for you.

We have sent letters out to all of the families that have not yet provided us with emails or downloaded and signed up to Groupcall Xpressions.
