  • To be able to upload a scanned copy of any additional medical information in support of your application.

Please note that it is the legal responsibility of the parent/carer to ensure their child attends school regularly, including the period during this application process.

If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) they are entitled to a free travel pass for use on public transport.
