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. Click on the links in the more information section of this page to view or download any of these leaflets.

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. Click on the links in the more information section of this page to view or download any of these leaflets.

Some children are entitled to free transport to and from school. Visit the Home to School Transport section of this website for advice about eligibility and how to apply.
