    A5 if their sibling (who should be in attendance at the school at the time of the closing date for applications) was admitted under one of the above three criteria currently numbered A1/A3/A4.

 

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 is the parental contribution for subsidised denominational transport?
 
The contribution (which is subject to a yearly review) is as follows:
£46 per term per family for a return journey
£138 per year per family for a return journey
£23 per half term per family for a return journey
£23 per term per family for a one way journey
£69 per year per family for a one way journey
 
3. 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 this team.
 
4. I am not sure if my child is eligible for free or denominational transport?
 
If you are not sure whether your child is entitled to free or subsidised denominational transport please telephone 01733 747474 and ask to speak to the Integrated Passenger Transport Unit.
 
5. Will I be sent a reminder when my child's bus pass needs renewing?
