School Transport
Primary and secondary school children
Wiltshire County Council provides free transport for children who are under the age of 16 and who attend their local (designated) school, if the distance from home to school is at least 2 miles, for children under 8 years, and 3 miles for children aged 8 or more (measured by the nearest available walking route). The distance criterion is reduced to 2 miles for children, aged 8 to 15 years inclusive, from families in receipt of Free School Meals or the maximum level of Working Tax Credit.
