If you want to buy a travel pass for the academic year 2021/22 you can do that using our Apply to buy a travel pass online form. Applications will not be accepted until 1 July 2021. Parents, carers or guardians are encouraged to apply in July 2021 as seats will be allocated in the priority order shown below.
Please note: applications received after 31 July 2021 will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Priority will be given in the following order:
- A child who is in the care of the local authority or is provided with accommodation by the authority and is supported by the authority’s Children’s Services Department BUT not in receipt of free transport
- Sixth form students currently attending Year 12
- Sixth form students moving into Year 12 in September of that academic year
- Children living in the catchment area with a sibling already attending the school
- Children living in the catchment area on a first come first served basis
- Out of catchment area children with a sibling already attending the school
- Other out of catchment area children on a first come first served basis.
Year 12 students starting September 2021
We encourage parents to apply for transport as soon as possible after 1 July 2021 and not wait until after GCSE results have been received. This will provide your child with a greater chance of securing a seat. If the student's situation changes and they no longer require transport, the application can be cancelled by:
Email: school.transport@eastriding.gov.uk before 31 August 2021.
This will ensure no direct debit payments are taken, or if payment has already been made before this time, a full refund will be provided within 10 days via the payment details you used when you paid for the pass.
Can my child’s pass be withdrawn?
If all the seats on the bus are allocated and you paid for a seat for your child, but a child who is entitled for free transport needs a seat, your child’s bus pass will be withdrawn to accommodate the child who is entitled to free transport.
