Transport
Free school transport is available to students in year 7 – 11 who live more than three miles from Lavington and within the transport catchment area as determined by Wiltshire Council. This is reduced to two miles for students who receive free school meals or the maximum level of working tax credit.
To apply for free school transport please complete the Under 16 application form, available below. Students are then allocated to buses by Wiltshire Council Passenger Transport.
Students are issued with a bus pass which they must show to the driver on request. A very high standard of behaviour is expected from students using the buses. All students are instructed to report any problems to school staff. If poor behaviour is a problem, a warning letter will be sent home and students can lose the privilege of free school transport.

Travel Arrangements for Out of Catchment Students
Our school currently contracts two coaches for students who live out of the designated catchment area. Spaces on these coaches are limited and due to capacity restrictions, we are unable to guarantee a place for every out-of-catchment applicant.
More details on the areas that the coaches service and how to book a seat can be found in the letter below

Arriving / Collecting By Car
Many of our students travel to Lavington by car. For safety reasons, it is extremely important that parents drop students off in the designated parking area and do not enter the area at the front of the school where coaches will be dropping off.
