The Local Authority provides help with home to school transport in cases where we consider it necessary to help a child or young person to attend school.
Some school pupils will be entitled to help simply because they live more than the "statutory walking distance" from their nearest suitable school – in these cases the LAs General Policy for Transport to School applies.

In a small number of cases, school pupils need help because they have additional needs. These may include school pupils:
-
with special educational needs (with or without statements);
-
with a physical disability (temporary or permanent);
-
with a medical/psychological condition (temporary or permanent);
-
with other special needs, including family circumstances.
