A SCHOOLBOY has fallen out of the top window on a double-decker bus onto the main road.
Police were called to the scene on Osmaston Road, in Derbyshire, at around 3.30pm on Monday.
The bus had been taking pupils from St Benedict Catholic Academy in Darley Abbey, to Allenton.
Paramedics rushed the schoolboy, who had plunged from the top window onto the main road, to hospital with a “head injury”;.
He has since been discharged.
Head teacher Hazel Boycetold Derbyshire Live: “We are aware of an incident on a school bus on Monday. The pupil involved was taken to hospital, treated and has now been discharged.
“We have carried out an internal investigation into the incident and the bus company has also carried out its own investigation.”;
In a letter to parents, the head blamed “dangerous behaviour”; of school children on the bus.
She claimed “many pupils were out of their seats, running up and down the aisle of the bus and jumping”; on each other.
Ms Boyce explained this led to “a window on the top deck of the bus being pushed out”;.
She wrote: “This led to a window on the top deck of the bus being pushed out of the moving bus and a pupil falling out of that window and onto the main road.
“All pupils who attend St Benedict can use theschool busto travel to and from school, including use of the free, late bus. However, we expect those who make use of this service to conduct themselves in a safe, respectable and courteous way.
“Other incidents of poor behaviour have been reported to us recently and include shouting, running about the bus and up and down the stairs, fighting and intimidation, as well as reports of vaping and use of foul language. These concerns are reported by parents, drivers, members of the public and pupils.
“Notts and Derby who run the school bus service will now be reviewing CCTV footage after every journey and reporting incidents of poor behaviour to us daily.”;
A Derbyshire police spokesman said: “Officers were called to reports that a boy had gone through the top window of a double-decker bus in Osmaston Road, Derby, on Monday, April 28, at 3.30pm.
“The boy reportedly sustained a head injury and was taken to hospital.”;
