Pupils aged 19 to 25
All Post 16 pupils receiving transport are required to submit a new Transport application each academic year.
Home to school transport applications – September 2026
The application deadline for Home to School Transport for the 2026/27 academic year was 30 June 2026.
We are currently processing applications received after the deadline and will contact families as soon as eligibility has been assessed and, where applicable, travel assistance arrangements have been confirmed.
Parents and carers are responsible for making their own travel arrangements until Warwickshire County Council has confirmed eligibility and any travel assistance is in place.
Please remember to check all email folders, including junk and spam folders, for updates regarding your application.
Important policy update
From 1 September 2026, Warwickshire County Council's new Children and Young People's Travel Assistance Policy comes into effect.
Applications received on or after 1 September 2026 will be assessed in line with the new policy and eligibility criteria.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prepare for the new academic year.
Please note, all post-16 pupils must reapply for travel assistance every academic year.
You can apply for free transport help if you:
- live in Warwickshire
- are aged 19-25 when the academic year for the course starts
- have an Education, Health and Care plan or can provide proof of learning difficulties or disabilities
- are starting a new course for a higher level qualification than you have studied before
- are attending a full-time course (3 days or more per week)
- are unable to travel to school/college/training without transport help
- have no support available from people in your household, other family members, or personal assistants.
- go to the nearest suitable school, college or training provider offering the qualification/course. Training providers must be funded by Warwickshire County Council.
- have a journey of more than three miles from home to school/college. Or are unable to travel this distance because of your special educational needs and/or disabilities (please provide proof of this with your application).
- attend during the normal school/college day and during term time only.
We will use this information to decide whether we can provide you with free transport help.
If you do not qualify for free transport, you or your parent/carer will need to arrange your own transport. There is no option to pay for transport in this case.
You may be able to get transport help through this scheme under the previous policy if you are:
- continuing a course
- and paid contributions in the last academic year.
