Frequently asked questions

Boarding points and travelling times

What are the guidelines on the distance to transport boarding points?

There is currently no maximum distance to a vehicle boarding point or a set down point for post-16 students, although the Council does plan to provide boarding points as close to the home as possible in the future. See section 12 of our Home to school and college transport policy (PDF) [601KB] for more details.

Are there any guidelines on travelling times for post-16 SEN students?

The times are the same as for secondary school age children, which is approximately 75 minutes one way, however in some cases the journey may be longer. See section 11 of our Home to school and college transport policy (PDF) [601KB] for more details.
