Schoolchildren ordered off bus for eating crisps

A bus company is investigating claims two nine-year-old pupils were forced to walk home after being ordered off a school bus for eating crisps.

The youngsters from St Joseph's Primary School in Swansea were left alone by the side of the road a mile from home.

Demi Waters and Thomas Beaujean were being driven to their homes in Morriston when they say they were told they had to get off the bus because they were eating crisps.



It is understood the company, which employs a chaperone on the school run, has a no-eating policy on its buses.

Demi's mother Nicola said: "It's the bus company I am really unhappy with - the school has been very good about it.

"She is only nine and the chaperone is on the bus to help them and make sure they get off at the right stop - not to throw them off."
