Oxfordshire County Council may provide free transport (or meet the cost of travel) for your child if he or she has to travel more than three miles to school, providing Gillotts School is your nearest available school. This distance is measured as the nearest available safe walking route. They may also provide free transport if your child is eligible for free school meals or you are on a low income. If you think your child may be eligible for this support, please contact Oxfordshire County Council, Quality Management Team 01865 323500 or [email protected]
Alternatively, parents may be able to pay for spare seats on school buses operating for students who qualify for statutory transport. More information regarding this can be found on the Oxfordshire County Council website. There are also local public buses that serve Gillotts School.
Parents of pupils who live closer to another available school but choose to come to Gillotts should contact the bus company operating the route nearest to their home to make their own arrangements. Transport costs for pupils in these circumstances are the responsibility of parents.
The current bus routes are attached but stops and times do vary slightly from year to year depending on demand so it is best to check with the relevant bus companies direct and not rely solely on this information.
If you have any further queries regarding transport, please contact the school. Sprinters Travel - Route ED2201
