How to Apply

Application forms are available each Spring from schools within Wiltshire. Alternatively, you may request a form online that we will send you, or telephone us on 01225 713000. If you prefer, you can download the PDF form (pdf 725Kb) pdf link, complete the form, and post it to us.

For applications for transport to start in the Autumn Term, please return your completed form to the Passenger Transport Unit by 1 June. At any other time of the year, please allow 3 weeks for your application to be processed and transport arranged. Once your transport entitlement has been assessed, you will receive a letter from the Education Transport Team.

Please contact the Passenger Transport Unit on 01225 713398 if you have a change of details, such as changing address or changing school/college part-way through your Primary or Secondary or Further Education. The Entitlement Team will have to re-assess your application and they will write to you as soon as possible after you have informed them of the change of details.

For changing school or college at the usual ages of 5 or 11 you must complete a new transport application form (see above for details on how to obtain a form).

Transport to Denominational Schools

If you are applying for transport to a denominational school (which is not the local area catchment school for your address) and your child is in year 0 or 7, please either contact the school or the passenger transport unit for a form, or download one HERE (pdf 274Kb) pdf link. The completed form is to be returned to the Passenger Transport Unit by 20th April.

Sixth form and colleges

At the age of 16 years, and moving to sixth form or college, different rules apply and the details of the Wiltshire County Council Assistance Scheme can be found on the Transport to Sixth Forms and Colleges page.
