Terms and conditions

Travel expenses

The payment of travelling expenses in the form of a mileage or cycling allowance may be offered at our discretion. They will be paid at the end of each term.  Claims must be received at least once a term and before the 30 July of the academic year which the claim relates to. Payments will not be backdated.  Periodic checks will be taken to confirm attendance, and we reserve the right to recover any overpayments or deduct from future payments as a result of any misleading claims.

If a child qualifies for help, we will pay expenses from the date we have agreed the application. When there are two or more children from the same address attending the same school or same site, and we have agreed to payment of a mileage allowance, we will only pay one allowance as we expect them to travel together. The mileage for this payment will be calculated based on the shortest driving route (avoiding toll roads) using Google maps.

Parents will be reimbursed for two return journeys between home and school each day attended. If, at a later date a bus or contracted route becomes available to and from school, we may withdraw the travel expenses payment and replace it with a pass for public or contracted transport.

We will determine which type of travel assistance will be offered and may change the type of assistance provided to make the best use of available resources.
