How to Use This Template
Enter Bus Number, Vehicle Registration and Make/Model, then record every service, inspection and defect under Maintenance Log with odometer readings and dates.
Set Log Review Date and Transport Manager as the reviewer, and summarise Compliance Status (MOT, insurance, inspection) with expiry dates up front. List Known Issues / Upcoming Maintenance so faults are planned rather than discovered roadside. Reconcile the log against the fleet schedule monthly and keep it in the vehicle or depot office for immediate access.
Record odometer readings at every entry so intervals between services can be audited, and photograph defects when logged. Any safety-critical fault — brakes, tyres, lights — takes the vehicle off the route until signed off; note that decision under Compliance Status with the date it returned to service.
When to Use This Template
End-of-term reporting
Assemble attendance figures, highlights and action points into one consistent document for leadership or governors at the close of a term.
Ad-hoc status updates
Need to report on a transport review or parent survey on short notice? Fill in the same sections and send a document people already know how to read.
Comparing results term over term
Keep the section headings identical between terms so leadership can compare attendance, outcomes and initiatives side by side without rebuilding the structure each time.
