1. Is my child eligible for free school
transport?
To qualify for free school transport your child must live in
the Peterborough City Council area and fulfil all of the following
criteria:
- Attend the nearest or designated school, which had places available at the time of application.
- Live beyond the specified walking distance - 2 miles for primary pupils and 3 miles for secondary pupils.
- The child is at least in the school year in which he/she will attain his/her fifth birthday.
If you do not meet the above criteria and your child is
entitled to free school meals, or your family is in receipt of
their maximum level of Working Tax Credit you will need to complete
a different application form (Transport
Application for Low Income Families).
2. What happens if my child changes school or we
move house?
You must notify the Integrated Passenger Transport Unit
immediately to check if you are still eligible for help with
transport. If your child no longer requires his or her bus pass,
please return it to the Integrated Passenger Transport Unit.

school transport?
If you are not sure whether your child is entitled to free
school transport please telephone 01733 747474 and ask to speak to
the Integrated Passenger Transport Unit.
Note to parent/carer: If you have a permanent
disability which prevents you from taking your child to school,
then your child may be eligible for transport assistance.
