Entitlement
Last updated | 03/05/2010
All entitlement and policy issues relating to school transport
are dealt with by
Education & Children’s Services.
In Perthshire all primary pupils who attend their catchment
school, and live at least two miles from school and all secondary
pupils who attend their catchment school, and live at least three
miles from school, will be entitled to free school transport.
Free school transport can also be provided on safety grounds if
the normal walking route fails to meet certain safety criteria.
Where there is spare seat on an education transport
contract vehicle (not a registered local bus service) a pupil may
be allocated a concessionary place. Please note that concessionary
places may be withdrawn at short notice and at any point throughout
the school year. Applications for concessionary places must be made
annually.
