HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS  

From: Bransgore  

For students who live in Hampshire, provided that Highcliffe is your closest designated school and you live more than three miles (walking distance) from Highcliffe School, Hampshire County Council will provide transport free of charge for September Intake. This applies to all applications received before the end of June.  

Please contact Hampshire County Council for further details, application forms are available from https://www.hants.gov.uk/educationandlearning/schooltransport or you can call the Passenger Transport Group on 01962 846924 or email Hants transport. 

From: Brockenhurst, Hordle, Sway, Tiptoe  

As Highcliffe School is not your closest designated school, unfortunately Hampshire County Council do not offer free transport.  

Highcliffe School runs routes through Brockenhurst, Hordle, Sway and Tiptoe, should you wish to utilise these routes. Currently the price for a year's transport is £925 which we split into 6 payments over the academic year, next year there is an assumption the price will increase but we will not know for certain until the tender process has been completed. We would envisage an increase to this cost for September intake, costs are usually confirmed by the end of April.

Free School Meals or Maximum level of Working Tax Credit  

If your child is entitled to Free School Meals and you are in receipt of the Maximum level of Working Tax Credit, you may be entitled to travel assistance from Hampshire County Council. You should apply direct to Hampshire County Council. Application forms are available from https://www.hants.gov.uk/educationandlearning/schooltransport or the Passenger Transport Group on 01962 846924.
