School Transport
How do I get free school transport ?
Free school transport is only available to pupils attending their catchment school and living more that two miles (primary) [pdf 353KB] or three miles (secondary) [pdf 353KB] from the school.
Transport will be provided from a suitable point on the public highway. This can be up to two miles (primary) or three miles (secondary) from the pupil's home.
Parents who have made successful placing requests for their children at other schools of their choice have to make their own transport arrangements and meet the costs thereof.
If I am refused school transport can I appeal?
Parents of pupils who are refused school transport have the right to appeal to the Review Sub-Committee of Education and Children's Services, only on the grounds of safety or if transport is withdrawn.
Where appropriate, the Authority may provide free transport for pupils who attend a special school or specialist unit.
