My child attends primary school (aged 5 to 11). What is the transport policy? : North Yorkshire County Council

the school the Local Authority (LA) has said is the normal school* (i.e. the school the Local Authority has decided will serve your home address) as long as it is over two miles (the minimum distance) from home; or
the preferred school (i.e. a school other than the normal school), if that school is over two miles, but nearer to home than the school.

If children receive free school meals or parents receive the maximum level of Working Tax Credit, transport will be provided, for primary aged pupils from term in which they are five up to the end of year 6:

to the nearest suitable school parents prefer because of their religion or belief, where the distance from home to school is more than two miles but not more than 5 miles.

In the case of pupils with a statement of special educational needs, this will be the school that the Local Authority considers to be the school that can best meet a child's needs (i.e. the most suitable school). This may be the local school or a special school.

* If you are not sure which is the normal school for your home address please ask the admissions team on 01609 533679 for advice
