Transport provision
I have been approved transport, how long will it take until I hear what transport provision is in place?
During the year applications can take up to 10 working days following a completed application. Applications for the new school year in September, providing all information is with us by the end of May, transport will be in place for the start of term. Whilst an application is being processed the parents are responsible for ensuring the child gets to and from school. We will not refund any travel fees unless there has been a delay caused by Transport Services.
Is transport provided for induction days?
No, transport is not provided for children attending induction, taster or transitional days or sessions before joining the school or establishment.
What transport will my child receive?
The transport options offered will depend on the circumstances and can range from public bus services to taxis and personal travel budgets. The most suitable arrangements will be decided by LCC transport services.
Can I travel with my child on the first few days of school?
No, we do not allow parents to travel on vehicles as they are shared with other students.
Will there be a Passenger Assistant on board?
Passenger assistants are only provided where a specific health and safety need has been identified for individual passengers
Do the crew on my child's transport have a DBS check?
Yes, all crew working on Lincolnshire County Council contracts have an enhanced DBS check. They are also issued a badge which you can request to see when the vehicle arrives.
Can my child be picked up or taken to a different address on occasion?
No, we can only arrange transport from and to one address.
