Important Information for Years 11 Parents
If your child is planning to stay on for Sixth Form in September 2025, they must re-apply for school transport – even if they already receive it. We understand decisions might still be up in the air, but we’d strongly encourage you to apply now to avoid missing the deadline.
Deadline for all applications is 31st May 2025.
If your child isn’t applying for Sixth Form and their school and home address remain the same, you do not need to reapply for transport each year.

News Summary
If your child will need school transport in September 2025, you’ll need to complete an online application form, even if they’ve received school transport before. The application process is straightforward and has been running successfully for the past few years. Applications open on 1st March 2025 and must be completed by 31st May 2025. This applies to pupils starting Reception, Year 7, and Sixth Form. Once applications close, they will be reviewed throughout June, with eligibility confirmed by 30th June 2025 and final transport arrangements shared by 19th July 2025. If your child is currently in Year 11 and planning to attend Sixth Form, it’s important to know that they must re-apply for school transport – even if nothing has changed. We understand that many students are still deciding on their next steps, but we strongly encourage families to submit the application as early as possible. If your child isn’t moving to Sixth Form and their school and home address haven’t changed, there’s no need to re-apply. For full details and to complete the application, visit:
