The Client Transport Team provide transport for students who are eligible for transport as described in the Home to School Transport Policy.

The Client Transport Team doesn’t decide who is eligible for transport, that is carried out by the Admissions Team

In general terms, children under the age of 8 are expected to walk up to 2 miles to their nearest school, and children aged 8 and over are expected to walk up to 3 miles to their nearest schools.

If part or all of the route isn’t safe to walk along, as decided by Council Officers, children who live nearer than the 2 or 3 miles would be eligible for transport.

For more information see the school transport policy page.

Transport will either be in the form of a ticket for a public bus or contracted council bus, a train ticket, minibus and in some cases a taxi.

Wherever possible the council make any available seats on council contracted services (not public bus) for sale through the ‘spare seat’ scheme.

For more information see the paid school transport page
