Transport will not be provided on faith grounds unless the school is the nearest to your home address and you live more than three miles from the school.
However, if your child gets free school meals, your child will be entitled to transport to the nearest faith school to your address provided:
- your child is attending on faith grounds
- the school is over two miles and up to a maximum of 15 miles from your home
This entitlement is reviewed annually and transport provision may be withdrawn if your circumstances have changed.
Unless your child gets free school meals, you will need to send us current proof that you receive an appropriate means tested benefit. If so, please send a copy of your benefit evidence (for example, appropriate level of Universal Credit, receives support under Part VI the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 or has the guaranteed element of Pension Credit) after completing the online form.
