As we head towards the end of this academic year, parents and guardians are reminded to apply for school and college transport for the next school year.
Applications need to be submitted to Worcestershire County Council by Wednesday 31 July 2024.
Applications received after that time may not be assessed and parents/guardians may need to make alternative arrangements.
Where Post 16 students are unsure of which sixth form or college they will be attending until they receive their results, an application should still be made by 31 July.
The establishment on the application can be amended once a final decision has been made.
Where a pupil is already receiving school transport, including where payment is for a vacant seat, a new application is not required.
This is only necessary where there is a change of address, school/college or where the pupil has moved to post 16 education.
Parents/guardians do not need to re-apply if they have already submitted their application for the 2024/25 school year.
To apply, please visit the School Transport Application pages of the County Council website.
This year, following receipt of application, all communication (including requests for payment) will be by email. An email address will be requested at the application stage.
In line with the County Council’s usual practice, confirmation of vacant seat offers on education contracts for non-eligible students will not be made until after October half-term. Seats will be allocated to eligible students first.
Where parents/guardians of non-eligible pupils wish to take advantage of any discretionary places, they will be added to a waiting list and the Transport Team will make contact when availability is known. In the meantime, parents should continue to make their own travel arrangements for September.
