North Northamptonshire Council is reminding parents and carers of pupils who require home to school travel assistance for the next academic year – starting in September 2025 – to apply as soon as possible.

The deadline for applications has been extended until 11:59pm on Friday, 30 May, 2025.

It cannot be guaranteed that a seat will be available for applications received after 30 May, 2025.

Post 16 and non-entitled school transport applications only cover one academic year, therefore a new application needs to be submitted every year.

More information and links to make online applications is available on our School Travel Assistance webpages.

Current in-year applications

The final date for applications for travel assistance to begin before the end of the current school year (known as in-year applications) is 11 June, 2025.

Applications after this date will not be processed unless there are exceptional circumstances.
