School buses

Many Derbyshire schools, especially secondary schools, are served by special buses. Some others are served by ordinary bus or train services.

We have produced a range of leaflets giving advice about school buses. There are separate leaflets for pupils and parents, for schools, and for bus drivers and operators.

There are also leaflets setting out guidelines for transport to special needs schools, plus different leaflets for parents and carers, for schools, for drivers and escorts, and for contractors.

Some children are entitled to free transport to and from school.
