Post 16 Student Transport

If you are wishing to apply for Post 16 support with travel in accordance with the SEND Transport Policy for your young person, please complete the form below.

Applications for September start date will need to be submitted by 31st July or it cannot be guaranteed that the transport will be in place for the start of the new academic year.

This application will need to be completed every year if your young person is continuing in full time education after the age of 16, either at school 6th form or college and is unable to travel on mainstream transport. You should complete this form even if your child is staying at the same setting and is already on transport.

For post 16 travel: a charge is applicable for this scheme, with a considerable discount for students from low-income households.

We can now offer reduced rate travel of £330 per annum for students whose gross household income is less than £20,819 and for all other students the charge will be £720. Travel arrangements will not be put in place until the full payment has been made or the Direct Debit for instalment payments has been set up.

If you are applying for transport and your son/daughter is over 19 years old on 1st September, transport will be provided free of charge.

If you need help completing the form or need any further advice, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01225 718360 or via email to SEND.transport@wiltshire.gov.uk
