Post 16 Students (Aged 16-18)

There isn’t a statutory duty to provide Post 16 aged students transport, although Shropshire Council currently offer a contribution scheme for Post 16 students with an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) attending their designated/ nearest Post 16 establishment.  For more information or to apply please visit: https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/the-send-local-offer/travel-and-transport/post-16-16-19-year-olds/.

The 16-19 Bursary can also be used to assist with Post 16 Transport costs. Students should complete details on their Bursary application form. For more information students can speak to the Head of Sixth Form/ Senior School Administrator.
