The deadline for parents & carers to apply for School Transport for 2016/17 is just over two weeks away and we’re writing to all schools to ask if they could remind parents & carers to get their applications in before 30 June 2016.
We’re asking all parents & carers of children starting primary school or transferring into secondary school to submit applications by the 30th so the Council can assess whether a child has an entitlement to transport, plan provision and to inform parents of the outcome before the start of the 2016/2017 academic year.
Further information on eligibility and an online application form are available on the county council’s website www.cumbria.gov.uk/schooltransport. Alternatively they can contact the school transport team on 0333 240 6965 or via email school.transport@cumbria.gov.uk
