School transport update from the
Passenger Transport Unit
Hello and Welcome back!
We wanted to provide you
with some information on School Transport for the start of term: -
·
Travel passes have
been issued for all eligible students, so any children without a valid pass are
not entitled to use the transport.
·
Please do not allow
these children to travel without checking with the Passenger Transport Unit
first, as the buses are all very full and there could be loading issues.
·
Please make sure new
admissions to your school are given an application form to complete and return
it to the Passenger Transport Unit.
·
Children not entitled
to free transport will hear very soon if they can be provided with travel
assistance.
·
We are sending
posters to high schools to remind students to apply for Post 16 Transport. Please display these within school so that
they will be seen when students collect their results.
Please remember to
complete any outstanding inset days promptly on the education website. Inset days can be found on the Education Esinet under School Management
Resources.

Don’t forget that schools
are financially responsible if the transport runs unnecessarily.
