School Transport & Travel Arrangements

Travel to school can be long and expensive if you live far away. Some families can get help with transport costs.

What to do: Read the GOV.UK school transport guidance to understand who can get support. Go to your local council website and fill in their school transport form, or ask a support worker to help you apply.

What do you need: You need your child's details, your address, school name and information about your income.

Outcomes: You may receive a bus pass, taxi support or money towards travel so your child can get to school safely.

Lifehack: Apply as soon as you know which school your child will attend, as decisions can take time.
