Methods of school transport

We can provide or arrange transport in a number of ways, for example:

  • pay a mileage allowance (45p per mile) to a parent driving their eligible child to school
  • by providing pupils/students with passes to use on public transport
  • by providing buses for use by school pupils/students
  • if circumstances warrant, by arranging for them to travel in taxis or hired cars
  • provide an escort to enable an eligible child with or without special educational needs to walk a short distance to school in reasonable safety, instead of making arrangements for a taxi to take them to and from school

All mentioned arrangements above require the relevant parental consent.
