School transport

Description of service

Eligibility for Home to School transport assistance is determined at Derbyshire County Council's Area Education Offices and applies if a child up to statutory school age lives more than three miles (two, if under eight years of age) from the normal area school.
Post 16 students in full time education continue to be eligible for half fare travel passes up to their 19th birthday under the County Council's concessionary fares scheme operated through the b-line card. Further information is provided in the Parents' Information Booklet an essential guide to Primary and Secondary Education.

The County Council also runs an integrated service of buses for fare paying and free travel pupils to and from schools and colleges.
