On a bus I noticed a schoolboy in uniform boarding with a green period paper ticket instead of a 11-15 Zip Oyster today.

Are these issued by schools for one reason or another don't have a Zip Oyster to ensure a child attends school or by TfL?

That's a pass issued by London Buses Revenue Protection Inspectors when withdrawing a pass.

It's essentially a hand-written ticket with a laminate sticker on top to stop it being altered after issue.

It's purpose is to allow travel whilst an irregularity is investigated, but it has a fixed validity.
