How to apply for school transport
Before applying you will need to confirm:
- I have read and understood the eligibility criteria and wish to submit an application form
Appeal a refused application
If your application is refused but you feel there are extenuating circumstances, then you can request that your case be considered as an exception to policy.
Appeals will only be accepted on a formal appeal form. To obtain this email [email protected] including very brief details of the basis for the appeal. You must do this within 20 working days of receiving the eligibility decision.
The appeal form enables you to provide further information why the decision should be reviewed and/or why your situation is an exception to other families. Financial difficulties or work commitments alone are not sufficient reasons for an exception to policy.
You may be required to provide evidence for consideration about why you cannot transport your child to school. For example, if you state your own health stops you from making transport arrangements, you will need to provide written evidence. This might be a GP explanation letter, a Hospital Consultant letter etc.
