Entitlement
Last updated | 30/03/2005
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 Please note that concessionary places may be withdrawn at short notice and at any point throughout the school year.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.
