National Entitlement Card and Young Person’s National Entitlement Card – Free Bus Travel Scheme<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The National Entitlement Card (NEC) is Scotland\u2019s National Smartcard, offering access to many public services across the country. You may recognise or know the NEC as a bus pass, library card or Young Scot card, however this one card may be able to grant you access to multiple other services as well.<\/p>\n

Especially for our P7 young people who are thinking ahead to transitioning to secondary school, if you have not already done so, an application for an NEC or Young Person’s NEC may be useful for free bus travel.<\/p>\n

Applications can be made for all children between age 5 up to age 15.\u00a0 The application forms can be found on our school blog under School Information and Documents<\/em>, Kidz Card \/ NEC Applications<\/em> or by accessing this link:<\/p>\n

NEC Applications<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have any queries, or would like assistance with applications, please contact the school office<\/p>\n
