TRANSPORT

GENERAL

The education authority has a policy of providing free transport to all pupils who live outwith a certain radius from their local school by the recognised shortest walking route. This means that the provision of transport could be reviewed at any time. Parents/Carers who consider they are eligible can    apply online at

PICK UP POINTS

 

Where free transport is provided it may be necessary for children to walk a   certain distance to the vehicle pick-up point.  Walking distance in total           including the distance from home to the pick-up point and from the drop-off point to the school in any one direction will not exceed the authority’s limits (see above paragraph).  It is the parent’s/carer’s responsibility to     ensure that their child arrives at the pick-up point in time.  It is also the parent’s/carer’s responsibility to ensure the child behaves in a safe and acceptable manner while boarding, travelling in and alighting from the vehicle.  Misbehaviour could result in your child losing the right to free transport.

 

PLACING REQUESTS

 

The Education Authority does not provide transport for those children in receipt of a placing request other than in individual exceptional  circumstances and where appropriate legislation applies.
