Transport to School

School Transport from September 2023

Over 90% of families in Hampshire organise their own journeys to school.  They walk, cycle, use public transport, lift-share with other families or take their child to school in the family car. Have a look at our Travel to school page for ideas and information.

Hampshire County Council can help with school journeys if you meet certain eligibility criteria outlined here:  Eligibility and how to apply

If your child meets the eligibility criteria, and you need help getting them to school, you can apply now for transport assistance for the 2023/24 school year.

The sooner we receive your application, the earlier we can arrange transport ready for September.

After 31 July 2023, applications will still be considered, however transport may not be in place in time for the start of the new school year.

If you already have school transport assistance in place for your child, you do not need to reapply for transport providing your circumstances haven't changed.
