Pupils aged 16 to 18
All Post 16 pupils receiving transport are required to submit a new Transport application each academic year.
Parent Announcement: Home to School Transport - September 2026
Applications closed on 30 June 2026.
Applications received on or by this date will be processed in time for the start of the academic year, ensuring eligible pupils have transport in place for September.
Eligible pupils will receive confirmation prior to the autumn term - please check all email folders including junk/spam.
