Home to School Transport

The East Riding of Council ceased to allow ’s out-of-catchment pupils to travel on their bus services with effect from the 1st September 2013. We therefore contract buses to replace the Local Authority provision so that those pupils living in the , , Holme-upon- and areas may attend Woldgate School.

The Local Authority no longer subsidise the transport cost on their services. We currently charge £579 for travel on our B1, H1 and M1 services and £650 for the D1 and, at this price, we are still providing a substantial subsidy. We will endeavour to minimise any price rises in the next academic year, within the financial constraints placed upon Woldgate School. The viability of these bus services will be reviewed annually and you will be kept informed of any proposed changes.

Awareness of the number of pupils each bus will need to accommodate would be greatly assisted if, by beginning of November 2018, you would kindly confirm your school transport requirements for the next academic year. You can do this by emailing Woldgate School ([email protected]) giving the names of the children you would like out of catchment bus transport for and the bus route they would require – these are detailed in the Bus Route section of this booklet.

East Riding of Yorkshire in Catchment Transport

Current guidelines state that free transport to enable a child to attend a will be provided if the child is in Years 7 to 11 and:

The child is attending their catchment area school and the only available routes to the catchment area school from the child’s home are more than three miles.

OR

The parent’s application for a place for their child at a school is refused, free transport will be provided to the school allocated in accordance with Council’s co-ordinated scheme for secondary school admissions if the only available routes to the school allocated in that way are more than three miles. If a place comes available for the child at their catchment area school before the child is on roll at the school allocated under the co-ordinated scheme, the entitlement to free transport to the allocated school will be withdrawn.

OR

The child is attending a school which is not their catchment area school and the child’s parents have not been able to secure a place at a school nearer to their home and the only available routes to the school the child is attending from the child’s home are more than three miles.

OR

The child is entitled to free school meals or the child’s parents are in receipt of their maximum level of Working Tax Credit and the school the child is attending is either one of their three nearest qualifying schools which is above 2 miles but less than 6 miles from their ordinary place of residence; or it is the nearest suitable qualifying school preferred by the child’s parents on the grounds of the parents’ religion or belief and the school is more than 2 miles but not more than 15 miles from the child’s home address.

The council does not provide any free transport for college students (those who are over the age of 16, but under the age of 19 on 31st August of the academic year), even if the student received it in secondary school.

However, they do provide college bus/taxi services for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. This is not free though and you must pay an annual £540 contribution towards it. Read more about travel for those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities on the Local Offer website: www.eastridinglocaloffer.org.uk.

Any spaces left on these services can be used by students who buy a travel pass. Spare places are allocated on a priority basis. Read about travel pass costs and find out more about buying a travel pass on the East Riding website: www2.eastriding.gov.uk

For pupils or students who don’t wish to buy a pass, they may want to use public bus services.

Below is a list of Villages in the catchment area for Woldgate School that are entitled to free school transport. (Please note students that are entitled to free transport will receive a letter to apply for a travel pass after March 2019)

Allerthorpe Givendale Millington Heights Hayton Bolton Yapham Mill Stamford Bridge Melbourne Skirkenbeck Millington Thornton

Distance Measurement The distance measured is the shortest available route using the public road network from the point at the child’s normal place of residence where the child joins the public road network (for example, the front gate) to the nearest approved entry point to the school’s site. The distance will be measured on a computerised GIS mapping system using Ordnance Survey information. The courts have defined an “available route” as one “along which a child accompanied as necessary can walk with reasonable safety to school. It does not fail to qualify as ‘available’ because of dangers which would arise if the child is unaccompanied.” The guidelines produced by the Local Authority Road Safety Officers Association will be used to determine whether or not a route is an available home to school walking route. In determining the availability of a route, the authority will take into account any restrictions on a parent’s ability to accompany their child imposed by any disability the parent may have.

Transport Provision It is for East Riding of Yorkshire Council to decide the means of and arrangements for transport, including the issue of and requirements to carry passes and tickets. Such transport may be by way of contracted services, or local bus or rail services. Pupils are collected as near to their home as reasonably possible. Some pupils may have to walk a reasonable distance to and from home to meet the transport. However, the designated picking up/setting down point will not exceed one mile from the pupil’s home. The responsibility for ensuring a child’s safety in getting to and from the designated picking up/setting down point rests with the parent/guardian/carer.

Wherever possible, in arranging transport, the Council will ensure that the journey times do not normally exceed one and quarter hours for a student attending a secondary school.

Information for students who are not eligible for free school transport Students are able to buy a paid in advance bus pass if there are seats available on services at a yearly cost of £540.00 or this can be paid monthly by direct debit – 9 months at £60.00 per month.

The services this applies to are listed below: 1W / 4W/5W/6W/7W/8W/9W/11W/12W/13W As the above contracts are registered services students can alternatively pay a daily fare, a single ticket costs £2.50 and a return ticket costs £4.00.

BUSWISE is a partnership between East Riding Council, schools, parents, pupils and local bus companies. This partnership will work together to ensure that everyone has a safe and pleasant journey using either the school bus or public transport. Any concerns relating to school transport can be reported on the BUSWISE website and will then be investigated. www.buswise.co.uk.
