School Transport

How Do You Rate This
Information/Service?

The Council provides transport for all primary school pupils who live over two miles from their designated primary school, and for all secondary pupils who live over three miles from their designated secondary school. Bus passes are issued to these pupils where suitable public transport exists: otherwise, contract transport is provided. Vacant seats on contract transport may be allocated to pupils who are not normally entitled to free school transport.

A parent who lives less than two miles from the designated primary school, or less than three miles from the designated secondary school, and who considers that his/her child's journey to school is unreasonable on grounds of safety, may apply to the Director of Education for consideration for free school transport. This applies only where there is no suitable public transport.

The Council provides free school transport, where necessary, for pupils attending a special school or special unit provided by the Council. In consultation with parents, some of these pupils may be encouraged to make their own way to school by public transport, in which case bus passes will be issued to them.
