Pupil and Student Services

Pupil Transport

Since September 2005 all children under the age of 16 can travel for free on London buses and trams.

Children who are 14 or 15 can travel free with a Child Oyster photo card. Children who look under the age of 14 can travel free on London's buses and trams without a photo card.

Application forms for a child Oyster photo card are available at all Post Offices in Greater London and areas just beyond the boundary that are served by the London bus network.

Pupils must apply for a travel photo card before their 16th birthday.

Special educational needs travel support

In some cases students with a special educational need or a disability can apply for travel support to help towards the cost of travel to school.

Please contact Jackie Chamberlain, Home to School Travel Officer, at the address shown if your child has special educational needs and you require further help with home to school travel support.

Students with a short term or long term incapacity can also apply for travel support. If you require this support please fill in the application form for transport arising from short term illness or injury or long term illness or injury and email back to jackie.chamberlain@lbbd.gov.uk.
