  • Post 16 Policy 14-15 DRAFT
    Transport policy statement for learners aged 16 – 18 in further education, continuing learners aged 19 and over and young people aged 19 – 24 with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. 1 Summary of policy statement and its main objective The providers of post 16 education in East Sussex believe that limited discretionary travel assistance should be targeted at the most vulnerable learners. The providers have, therefore, developed policies which ensure there is provision for students in greatest financial need by assisting in whole or in part towards the cost of transport. The government has increased the age to which all young people in England must continue in education or training, requiring them to continue until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17, and from 2015 until their 18th birthday. This does not mean young people have to stay in school to continue in education or training. Options include full-time study in a school, college or with a training provider, full-time work or volunteering combined with part-time education or training or an apprenticeship. As a result, any transport support given to students up to and including Year 11 does not extend beyond compulsory school age. 2 Types of assistance available Seats on coaches serving schools with sixth forms Students attending schools with sixth forms, where hired vehicles are available, can purchase a travel permit. The cost from September 2014 is £124 per term (based on a six term year). The charge will be waived for students from low income families meeting the eligibility criteria (see section 4).
