Will my child get free school transport?

You can express a preference for a place at any school, but choosing the school you would like for your child may mean that they will not be entitled to free school transport. It is important to check whether your child will be entitled to transport and, if not, to consider how your child is going to get to the school you prefer for the whole time they will be there.
