Free School Travel

Your child may qualify for free travel if they are eligible for free school meals or if parent/carers receive their maximum level of Working Tax Credit. This is only a guideline though. You need to check with your Local Authority who can give you advice on your individual situation.

WYCA assesses and renews free travel applications only for residents who live in the Leeds or Bradford Council areas.

Eligibility criteria

You may be entitled to free travel to and from school if you:

• are under 8 years old and live more than 2 miles from your nearest qualifying school
• are aged 8-16 years old and live more than 3 miles from nearest qualifying school.

If you require assistance with completion of the form, please contact the school and a member of the pastoral team will be happy to book a meeting room and assist you with the application form.
