Getting to School
Walking, scooting or cycling
Ranches Primary School is in a unique and fortunate position that means that children in our closest communities – that is, most of the children in the school – can walk, scoot or cycle to school. And our extensive bike racks bear testimony to the number of children who take advantage of that! For many families, this is a compelling reason to choose to live in Arabian Ranches or Sustainable City.
Community Pass
Supporting sustainability and promoting independence
To support these sustainable modes of travel and to encourage independence in older year groups, we have a Community Pass scheme. In Year 4-6 children who are deemed able by both the school and their families, may be awarded a community pass that enables them to travel to and from school independently. The pass includes contact information and acts as an identifier should the child find themselves in need of support outside of school.
If children are traveling from further afield, they will have to travel by car or by bus.
Travelling by School Bus
We have partnered with Guardian One Transport LLC, an experienced and established bus transportation company which is used by a number of schools in Dubai to provide students with a safe, reliable and professional transport service.
All vehicles used by Guardian One Transport LLC, follow the strict Road and Transport Authority (RTA) safety standards and guidelines. All bus drivers are experienced, authorised and trained by the RTA. A bus helper will travel with each vehicle.
Guardian One Transport LLC, provide a service between the school and most of the surrounding communities. For details of the services available or any other queries you may have, please contact Guardian One Transport LLC, directly using the contact details below. While every effort will be made to accommodate all requests, the decision whether a child is allocated a seat with Guardian One Transport LLC and is dependent on the student residing on an existing route and seat availability on buses serving that route.
