Obviously with it being dedicated school transport provided by either the school or council, they could enforce it as a condition of travel, I just personally don't see the point in it when it's not being enforced in schools, or if they got a regular bus.
The issue I have is the fact they're saying it's government guidance that they're required, when it obviously isn't.
Is it a registered scholars service or a bus provided/operated by the school? If its the latter, I'd suggest they'd probably be within their rights to challenge it, but they *may* still be obliged to provide the transport. See: https://www.ipsea.org.uk/children-of-com...ed-5-to-16
If its a registered scholars service, I'd say its up to the operator. As far as I'm aware though, there's as much enforcing it by law as there is in a supermarket though - nil.
