Local authorities (education authorities in Northern Ireland) have a legal duty to make suitable travel arrangements free of charge for some children so that they can attend school. If your child is not eligible for free home to school transport, your local authority may still make transport arrangements for them.

Select from the menu above or the guide links below to find out more about school travel arrangements. This information is about travel at the start and end of the school day.
