We to remind families about the School Travel Assistance provided by Glasgow City Council (GCC). GCC provide transport for children and young people who live more than 1.2 miles from their local catchment primary school by the shortest suitable walking route and more than 2.2 miles from their local catchment secondary school by the shortest suitable walking route. This is slightly more generous than the statutory obligation.

Further information about School Travel Assistance, and details on how to apply if you think you may be eligible can be found on the following webpage –

We would like to encourage all families who believe they are eligible to apply. This will also help to alleviate some of the road traffic issues we see at the beginning and end of the school day.
