All applications for travel assistance for September 2023 will need to be received by 30 June 2023 at the latest.

For nursery and post 16 students all students in these age groups need to apply annually for travel assistance.

Any applications received after 30 June 2023 will still be processed but transport may not be set up for the start of the academic year and parents / carers will need to make their own transport arrangements in the interim.

If you have any questions or queries, please email the Specialist Travel team.

For full details and how to apply please visit our travel and transport pages.

Top tips for parents/carers applying for transport

• Please complete all boxes on the form
• Please inform us of your (parent/carers) details
• Please tell us as much as you can about your child. We understand that sometimes this can be difficult, but the more you tell us the more information we have to make an informed and accurate decision
• If your child is 16+ you'll need to apply every year
• For September starters/leavers and movers we'll work on your child’s transport during August so we can efficiently network plan and provide sustainable transport options. We'll inform you of what provision your child will have before term starts
• If transport is granted you'll be asked to complete a travel support plan, which helps us to ensure your child has a happy journey to and from school
