School transport in Peterborough
We arrange school transport for children and young
people in Peterborough who are eligible for transport under the
children's services transport policy or the Peterborough post 16
transport partnership policy. This may be provided by issuing bus
passes for public transport or using one of our approved transport
providers. If you think your child may be eligible
for assistance with transport please choose from the links on this

Parents and carers have a duty to ensure that their
children attend school and to make any necessary transport
arrangements, including accompanying them where necessary on their
journey to and from school. Parents and carers are
responsible for their children until they are received onto the
school premises and after they leave the school premises at the end
of the school day. We will exercise our
responsibilities as a corporate parent for those children who are
in our care and provide transport in accordance with agreed policy
and procedures.
