Parents will be able to opt in for SCC funded school travel for the 2024/2025 school year from 1 March 2024. If their child is eligible, they must opt in by 31 May 2024 to ensure that school transport is in place for the start of the Autumn term.

We ask schools to help us make sure parents are aware of the SCC funded school travel policy and what this means for their child or children. We also ask schools to help us ensure parents opt-in for SCC funded travel.

We have prepared some information which helps to explain the School Travel Policy and to help you communicate this information with parents.

Please find below links to the following:

1. Schools guide to SCC funded school travel policy 2024
