Stagecoach do that at my school, Stanley Travel run the scholars service but there is a special 18 service leaving slightly later on a morning from Walker Bus Terminal and I believe Stagecoach offer different fares on this service according to some people I know from school
EDIT: A. Similar thing happens with the 158 scholars because the students of Gosforth East Middle also get the Q3 or the Arriva 46 (Ariva operate in the afternoon, GNE in the morning
