Guide to transport for children with SEND

Attending a special school

If your child has been placed at a special school because it is the only school that can meet their needs then this school will become their designated school and the normal eligibility criteria for transport will apply.

However, if you have chosen a different school for your child, transport will only be available if it is the nearest or designated school to your home address.

If the educational setting has been named on your child’s EHCP as parental preference, it is unlikely that there would be an entitlement to transport.
