Secondary school transport - consultation

The consultation on the proposal to alter the distance that a mainstream secondary school pupil must live from their catchment school to qualify for free school transport, from more than 2 miles to more than 3 miles has now closed.

We are now considering the responses to the survey and a report is anticipated to be published towards the end of the school term in June.

Safe walking routes and qualifying addresses

For more information on safe walking routes and qualifying addresses please see the Safe walking routes and distance qualifying addresses page. 

Roads officers do not undertake assessments for every walking route that exists. If parents are concerned about the safety of their child's route to school, they should request a road safety assessment to be carried out by completing the safe walking route concern form.
