The education authority will normally provide free transport to all pupils who attend an Additional Support for Learning (ASL) school. This policy is more generous than the law requires. This means that the provision of transport could be reviewed at any time.

Where free transport is provided, it may be necessary for children to walk to the vehicle pick-up point.  It is the parent/carer’s responsibility to ensure that their child arrives at the pick-up point on time.  It is also the parent /carer’s responsibility to ensure that the child behaves in a safe and acceptable manner whilst using school transport. It is expected that no child/young person with additional support needs will be on transport for more than one hour.
