Help with school transport for children at church aided schools – how to apply

We've summarised our policy from January 2011 for new starters, and from September 2011 for existing students, below.

Secondary schools

Transport assistance will only be provided to secondary aged children from low income families attending a denominational school on grounds of religion or belief.

Children moving into Year 11 in a denominational school in September 2011, who previously received free transport, will continue to receive assistance until the end of the academic year.

Secondary school aged children from low income families

Children from low income families will be entitled to free transport if their journey from home to school is more than two miles and less than 15 miles and the religious qualification is met.

For more information go to the 'Help for low income families' section of Financial help with home to school travel.

Primary schools

There is no policy of support for children attending primary school for religious reasons.
