Transport & FSM

The Education Transport Team is made up of Beckie Love, Sarah Clarke and Lindsay Stanford; we work closely with Nikki Daly, Lead Officer for Education Transport and Appeals and Claire Thornicroft, SEN Funding Officer and colleagues from Transport Operations in Barrack Street.

The team support parents and schools regarding eligibility for Free School Meals. We provide advice to parents/carers on eligibility requirements and we also support schools in updating information so they can access Pupil Premium for their school. Currently we have 7000 children who are in receipt of the Pupil Premium.

We assess eligibility and provide transport for around 6000 entitled mainstream entitled travellers, 2000 mainstream paying travellers and 1500 students with a statement or EHCP both over and under 16 across the whole of Warwickshire every year.

We provide transport for those who are entitled to free transport assistance due to meeting the criteria as defined by the DfE and transport for those who are not eligible under the paid Vacant Seat Scheme, these travellers help to assist towards the cost of running our Warwickshire County Council services and ensure that we maintain an easily accessible network or transport for students across the county and even those coming from over the boarders.

We are currently taking applications for all types of transport for September 2017 so if you have a family that you know needs to apply for transport please provide them our contact details below:
