Education Transport

Most students make their own way to and from school or college.

However, Essex County Council provides transport for some children of compulsory school age who meet the qualifying criteria.

Post-16 transport to colleges and sixth forms is also available at a charge, for eligible students aged 16 to 19.

For further information and to apply online, visit the Essex County Council website.
