It is not a statutory requirement for local authorities to consult upon their home to school transport policy, however, in Northumberland we believe it is good practice to seek the views of all stakeholders. 

A consultation of the School Transport Policy for Children of Compulsory School Age - September 2024 can be found here. This consultation period will run from 4 November 2024 until 16 December 2024. If you would like to express any views regarding this policy, please send them to the School Admissions mailbox: schooladmissions@northumberland.gov.uk
