Pupils aged 19 to 25
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.
Late applications will still be accepted; however, families will need to arrange interim travel until eligibility is confirmed and transport is arranged.
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.
