Under 16 travel

Most statutory school age pupils make their own arrangements to travel to school; this could be by walking, cycling, using public transport or transport arranged by the school or college, sharing arrangements with other families, or the family transporting themselves.

For a small percentage of pupils, the authority may arrange travel assistance. Our policy explains when help may be provided and how. The same policy applies to pupils with and without an Education, Health and Care Plan.  

A separate policy applies to post 16 students in year 12 and above
