Passage
Free school transport is normally available where the nearest suitable school is more than two miles away for a child under eight, or more than three miles away for a child aged eight or over. Separate extended rights apply to some low-income families. Distance is measured using the shortest safe walking route rather than the road distance travelled by a vehicle.
Statement
A nine-year-old living 3.2 miles from the nearest suitable school by road, but 2.5 miles away by the shortest safe walking route, automatically qualifies under the normal distance rule.
