Who can claim free transport?

Pupils of compulsory school age are entitled to free school transport if they live beyond the statutory walking distance and attend the school designated by the County Council to serve the home address.

• Check your eligibility

Transport will also be provided where requested if pupils are registered at a school that is not the designated school but which is the nearest to their home. In the latter case the school must be beyond the walking distance and suited to the age, ability and aptitude of the child.

There are some exceptions

Parents must arrange for their children to travel in safety between the home and the transport picking-up and setting-down points. They are also responsible for their children while they are waiting for transport and when they leave the transport at the end of the day.
