Faith schools

If you get the maximum amount of Working Tax Credit or your children are entitled to free school meals, they could get free school transport if they:

• Attend a school other than the nearest secondary school on the grounds of religion or belief if the school attended is the nearest of your religion and the distance is between 2 and 15 miles

We no longer provide discretionary denominational transport assistance to families who are not a low income family (for example, you get the maximum  amount of Working Tax Credit or your children are entitled to free school meals).

If you are applying for a school place you should consider the information about transport in the admissions literature before you apply.
