We are not currently accepting applications for free school transport for the academic year 2026/27. Please see below for more information about when to apply.
If your child is starting school in September and qualifies for free school transport, we aim to contact you by email or letter during April or May. We will include a link to the code of conduct and the online application form, which must be completed by 1 June.
If you haven’t heard from us by the end of June and believe your child may be eligible, you should complete the application form.
If you would like to apply for free school transport for your child now, complete the secondary school transport application form. An application form must be completed for each child who requires transport.
If you are applying for transport after the academic year has started then please complete the application form as soon as possible.
If you think your child might qualify for free school transport on low income or low income faith grounds an application form must be completed. If you are applying for transport on low income grounds you also need to send us your proof of receipt of an appropriate means-tested benefit unless your child receives free school meals.
