West Sussex County Council fund school transport for students in Years 7-11, who live over 3 miles from the school site to which they attend, and whose address is within the catchment area.  Students will be notified of any new service or change in allocation by mid-August 2025.

• Sixth Form students need to contact their designated council to see if they qualify for post 16 support.
• Students who have an address outside of West Sussex must apply to their own local authority, this includes students who live in Smallfield, Horley, Dormansland and Lingfield.

Please be aware it is at each Council’s discretion to allocate assisted or free transport.
