Primary school children are required to start at a secondary school inthe September following their 11th birthday.

It is important that you complete the online form by the deadline dateas those applications will be considered first for any places available.Any applications received after the deadline date will not be considereduntil those received before the deadline date have been allocatedplaces.

Whilst it does not guarantee a place at a school the admission criteriagives a higher priority to pupils who reside within the designatedcatchment area of a secondary school. The primary school which thepupil is attending is not therefore a factor which is taken into account.

4. Admission to secondary schools including sixth form

Key Facts• There is no automatic transfer from a primary to secondary school. • By law you must make an application to the Admissions Authority

for a place.• Deadline for submitting an application is the 22nd December

2017.• It is the home address which is taken into account when

considering admission to a secondary school and not the primaryschool attended.

• It is not possible for any person or organisation to guarantee, inadvance, a place for a child at a school. Any such comments orassurances must be disregarded.

• You will need to receive a letter or email from the AdmissionsAuthority advising you if your application has been successful orrefused.

• A child can not start at a secondary school until the parent/guardianhas confirmed the place with the Admissions Authority.

• Read the Transport to school policy before making your final choiceof school.

A 5. Choosing a school – Catchment areas

Local / Catchment Area SchoolThe Authority has identified a designated geographical area which theschool serves which is referred to as the school’s catchment area. Detailsof a school’s catchment area are available at the school, on the CountyAuthority’s website (I-Local) or available from the relevant AdmissionsAuthority.

Whilst living in a school’s catchment area does not guarantee admissionto the school it is an important factor as it will give the application ahigher priority than those who live outside the catchment area and isalso important as it is one of the key criteria in assessing eligibility forassistance with home to school transport.

Key Facts• Every school has a designated catchment area which it serves. • If the pupil resides within the designated catchment area of a

school then you will stand a better chance of the application foradmission to the school being successful. There is, however, noguarantee of a place.

• Pupils who reside within the catchment area of a school will,subject to age and distance criteria, stand a better chance ofqualifying for free transport to and from school – see transportpolicy

• Where a parent chooses a school which is not the nearest orcatchment area school, then the parent will be responsible fortransporting the child to and from schools.

• Parents can state a preference for a school, which is not thedesignated catchment area school. Subject to the limit on thenumber of pupils who can be admitted into the school not beingexceeded and the correct procedures being followed, thenadmission will be granted.

• When a pupil moves from primary to the secondary school,consideration of eligibility for admission to that school and alsofor free home to school transport will be based on home addressand not the primary school attended.

Page 13: Admission to School Information for Parents · 2 Information for Parents 2017 This booklet can be found on our Website If you require this document in any other format please contact

13Information for Parents 2017

ADetails of the home to school transport policy are provided in thisdocument.

Prior to making an application for admission to a school the Authoritystrongly recommends that you contact, discuss and visit your localschool so that you are aware of the facilities and opportunities they areable to offer.

Parental PreferenceAs indicated, the Authority advises that the first point of contact inmaking a choice of school would be the local designated catchmentarea school.

Whilst, in practice, most parents send their child to their local catchmentarea school, parents have a right to state a preference for differentschools. If you wish to do so it is recommended that you contact theschool you are considering before making a final choice.

Where you choose a school which is not your designated catchmentarea school or the nearest school to your home there are some practicalissues which you need to consider fully prior to making a decision.

The first is that if a child does not attend the catchment area schoolor the nearest school to the home address and this decision is basedon parental preference, then the responsibility, as well as the cost, oftransporting the pupil to and from school, rests entirely with theparents/carer. Parents indicate that this can be a particular problemif they then subsequently have a younger sibling who is not admittedto the same school. It is prudent, therefore, to consider and plan forthis possibility prior to making an application for admission.

The second issue relates to the stage at which pupils move from theprimary school to the secondary sector. Admission to secondaryschools is based on whether or not your home address is in thesecondary school’s catchment area and not the primary schoolattended. Where therefore a pupil has attended a primary schoolwhich is not their designated catchment area school there is anincreased probability that they may not be able to be admitted to thesame secondary school as their peers and fellow pupils.

Page 14: Admission to School Information for Parents · 2 Information for Parents 2017 This booklet can be found on our Website If you require this document in any other format please contact

14 Information for Parents 2017

AThese issues will not apply in many instances but as they have causeddifficulties for parents in the past it is recommended that you considerand have planned for such eventualities before making your final choiceof primary school.

The Admissions Authority and school governors will lawfully complywith any preference for a particular school which is expressed. As withall applications a preference for a particular school will need to beconsidered and assessed as part of the admission process to ensure thatthe Authority does not exceed the limit for admission of pupils to thatschool for the relevant year group.

The term used in this document when referring to the number whichlimits the number of pupils who can be admitted to a particular yeargroup in a school is the admission number or AN. The admissionnumber (AN) for each school is provided in the schedule of schoolswhich forms part of this booklet.

Parental Preference - Twice Excluded PupilsIf a pupil has already been permanently excluded from two or moreschools then, whilst a parent may express a preference for a school atwhich they wish their child to be educated, the Admission Authoritydoes not have to comply with that preference for a period of two yearsfrom the date of the latest exclusion.

This does not apply to students with statements of Special EducationalNeeds (SEN), children below compulsory school age, children who havebeen re-instated, or who would have been re-instated had it beenpractical to do so, or looked-after children where the application foradmission is made by the corporate parent.

Meeting Additional / Special Educational NeedsSome children have additional or special educational needs and or adisability that require extra provision to be made for them to be ableto learn effectively. In these instances please refer to the AdditionalEducational Needs section of this booklet.

15Information for Parents 2017

AHome EducationParents may also choose to educate their own children at home. This isknown as Elective Home Education. The decision to home educaterequires careful thought, as it represents a considerable undertakingin terms of commitment, time and cost.

If you are considering this option, then you are advised to contact thelocal authority, and seek guidance from the Elective Home EducationOfficer on 01267 246727.

Classification of SchoolAll Carmarthenshire schools are classified as co-educational schools inthat they cater for boys and girls, and unless noted otherwise are dayschools and not residential schools.

Secondary Schools are, unless noted otherwise, classified ascomprehensive schools.

In accordance with the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 alimit of 30 pupils in a class being taught by one qualified teacher isplaced on Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes.

6. Admission to Schools at other times of the yearParents/carers who wish to apply for a place for their child at a schoolduring the academic year will still need to complete and submit anonline application form to the Admissions Authority.

Requests will be considered as and when they arise in accordance withthe admission procedures and policies outlined in this documentincluding the over-subscription criteria if the admission number hasbeen exceeded.

16 Information for Parents 2017

AChanging Schools – Mid Year TransferChanging schools requires serious consideration and should be fullydiscussed with the Headteacher of your child’s present school in thefirst instance. The Department for Education and Children will alsoprovide advice if required. If it is still your wish to transfer your childfrom one school to another please apply online to the AdmissionsSection at the Department for Education and Children. The Departmentfor Education and Children will give consideration to allowing thechange of school in accordance with the admission criteria.

Other year groupsApplications for admissions for pupils into year groups other than theusual year group, based on the date of birth of a pupil, will beconsidered on an individual basis and where applicable against theadmissions over subscription criteria outlined in this booklet.

There is a specific process for considering such applications which willinvolve assessment by the L.A. of the individual circumstances of eachcase. It is not an automatic process.

AAdmission Number (AN) – A limit on the number of pupils admittedinto a schoolEvery school has an Admission Number (AN) which specifies and limitsthe number of pupils who can be admitted to each year group in theschool. The AN for each school is given in the list of schools enclosed inthis booklet.

The AN for each school has been set by using the capacity formuladetermined by the Welsh Government. The calculation is based onnational guidelines (Measuring the Capacity of Schools In Wales Circular021/2011) and relates to the physical area of the school buildings, thetype of facilities at the school, the age range and number of year groupsin the school.

The AN applies to the age group into which the pupils are admitted intothe school and places a limit on the number of pupils who can beadmitted. In the normal year of entry the Admissions Authority mustadmit pupils until the AN is reached. Should the number of applicationsreceived for admission to a school exceed the AN then the Authoritywill prioritise the applications it has received in accordance with theover subscription criteria detailed in this document. In suchcircumstances parents may not be successful in gaining a place for theirchild at their preferred school. School governors and the LA must alwayskeep the AN under review.

Split Site SchoolsWhen an application is made for admission to a school which operateson more than one site, the Authority will approve admission to theschool and not to a particular site. The site the children will attend is amatter for the school to decide.

As the AN is based on the school’s capacity to provide appropriateaccommodation and facilities for pupils it should not be exceeded.

(MOD) letter declaring a definite return date and confirmation of thenew address within catchment.

9. Notification of Admission

Parents will be notified of the outcome of the application. Successfulapplications will be sent an offer letter or email where a place isavailable at the school and offering them the opportunity of acceptingthe place.

Waiting ListWhere it has not been possible to admit a pupil to a school due to over-subscription, parents must inform the Authority by e-mail or letter ifthey wish their child’s name to be placed on the waiting list which willbe retained until 30th September, 2018. Should vacancies becomeavailable they will be awarded in accordance with the over-subscriptioncriteria outlined rather than the amount of time the application hasbeen on the waiting list. It should be noted that fresh applications mustbe made after the 30th September deadline.

Withdrawing the Offer of a PlaceThe offer of a school place will be withdrawn on the basis:(i) that it is subsequently discovered that a fraudulent or intentionally

misleading application was made (e.g. falsely claiming to residewithin a catchment area of a school); or

(ii) offer of a place has not been accepted by the dates on theletter/email. The Authority may then withdraw the offer and theplace may be given to another child.

2. The School CurriculumDuring primary education and the first three years of secondaryeducation all schools offer a broad and balanced programme whichincludes all National Curriculum subjects. The aim of the curriculumoffered in each school is to enable all pupils to achieve their fullpotential. In the 4th and 5th year of secondary school pupils continueto study the National Curriculum subjects but with some scope foroptions to suit pupils' individual talents and interests.

Parents are fully consulted about these options and a careers adviser isattached to each school to offer advice. The National Curriculumconsists of the core subjects: English, Welsh where it is a principalmedium in the life and work of the school, mathematics and science.The other foundation subjects are technology, history, geography, amodern foreign language (in secondary schools only), music, art,physical education and Welsh, where it is not a core subject.

All schools must also make provision for religious education. Parentshave a right to withdraw pupils from the religious education provisionand acts of collective worship. Any such requests should be made tothe Headteacher of the school.

General PrinciplesCarmarthenshire believes in the educational value of being conversantin two languages and is strongly in favour of a bilingual policy in itsprimary schools. The long term aim of this bilingual policy is to teachchildren to be completely bilingual in the use of Welsh and English bythe time they leave primary school, to enable them to become fullmembers of the bilingual society of which they are a part. The provisionmade should ensure that the children are able to communicate withconfidence in both languages and that they are aware of the culturalheritage of Wales. The secondary schools language policy is acontinuation of the primary policy and reflects the place given to Welshin the communities in which the schools are located. It recognises thatthere is a different emphasis on the Welsh language and teachingthrough the medium of Welsh in the County’s various schools. It aimsto give the pupils an opportunity to continue with a proportion of their

education through the medium of Welsh so that they are fullyintegrated into their bilingual communities at the end of theeducational process.

Complaints about the School Curriculum and Related MattersEach individual school has a policy for dealing with complaints. Anyconcerns which parents may have will ideally be resolved informally indiscussion directly with the school. However, should parents wish tomake the complaint formal, the school has established procedureswhich they are obliged to make available.

In relation to Voluntary Controlled and Voluntary Aided Schools arepresentative of the relevant Diocesan Body will be invited to bepresent in accordance with the established procedures when acomplaint is being considered. Should the complaint involve religiousmatters then the above procedure would be followed, but theComplaints Committee would also include Chairperson and ViceChairperson of the Standing Advisory Authority on Religious Educationand for V.C. Primary Schools the Diocesan Director of Education wouldbe invited as an observer.

Other Considerations - Primary SchoolsTeaching Welsh and English, either as a first language or a secondlanguage, is an essential part of the programme of work of every classin all the primary schools in Carmarthenshire in accordance with theabove policies, but special provision is necessary for:-

(i) those children who arrive at the County’s primary schools at a laterage;

(ii) those children who are officially assessed as suffering from learningdifficulties where the introduction of a second language wouldhinder their educational development, and where educationthrough the medium of their mother tongue is essential [however,the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum must beborne in mind];

(iii) children from foreign countries whose second language is neitherWelsh nor English and where the introduction of a third languagecould prevent their educational development, and where the abilityto speak English would be advantageous for them.

Each school's language category is noted in the schools list in thisbooklet.

Secondary SchoolsWelsh is taught as a subject to every pupil up to the end of Year 11 inaccordance with the requirements of the National Curriculum. There isa variety of provision of teaching other subjects through the mediumof Welsh in a number of the County's secondary schools and parentsmay obtain specific information from the individual schools. There arethree bilingual secondary schools where the major part of thecurriculum is taught through the medium of Welsh.

4. Public ExaminationsThe LA will comply with the requirement of the law. Pupils, if consideredsuitable by the Headteacher, are entered for the examinations of theWelsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) and other examining groups.

The timetables for the examinations are arranged by the WJEC andother examining groups and Headteachers are notified of these and thesubsequent examination results directly by those groups.

5. Exclusion of PupilsThe Headteacher (or another responsible teacher acting in theHeadteacher's name) is the only person who has the power to excludea pupil from the school on disciplinary grounds. It is the Headteacher'sduty to inform the parents and children (or pupil if aged 11 or over) ofwhether the exclusion is permanent or for a fixed period and thereasons for it. Parents will be invited to make representations regardingthe exclusion to the exclusion panel of the school governing body.Acopy of the exclusion guidance document is available from TheDepartment for Education and Children. Further advice can be obtainedfrom the EOTAS Officer Tel No: (01267) 246456.

6. School Activities ChargesThe basic principle is that the education provided by a maintainedschool should be free of charge where it takes place wholly or mainlyduring school hours. In some circumstances charges may be made orvoluntary contributions sought by schools and this will be brought tothe attention of parents before any commitment to a particular activityis made.

7. School Leaving DatePupils may leave school on the last Friday in June of Year 11 ofsecondary education if they have attained the age of 16.

8. Access to DocumentsEvery school shall allow parents access at all reasonable times to thefollowing documents:-

(i) The Department for Education and Children’s Curriculum StatementPolicy; the school's Statement of Curriculum aims;

(ii) Welsh Government circulars and statutory instruments; (iii) published ESTYN reports regarding the school;(iv) schemes of work and syllabuses;(v) arrangements for consideration of complaints about the

curriculum; (vi) the agreed syllabus for Religious Education;(vii) the Charging and Remissions Policy of the Governing Body.

9. School Governing BodiesEach school has a governing body which comprises members of thelocal community, parents, teachers, staff and representatives of theLocal Authority. Governing Bodies of Church Schools (Voluntary Aidedand Voluntary Controlled) are also represented by the church authority.

When vacancies arise for parent governors, information is circulated viapupil post and to be eligible to be nominated as a parent governor, aperson must have a child registered at the school for which theGoverning Body is responsible. The term of office for governors is forfour years and a parent governor can, if he or she so chooses, serve thefull term of office even if his or her child is no longer a pupil at thatschool.

Governing Bodies are required by law to meet at least once a term.

Further information regarding governing bodies can be obtained fromthe School Admissions Unit at the Department for Education andChildren.

Section C – Services to Pupils

1. Meeting Additional/Special Educational Needs

1.1 IdentificationSome children have additional learning educational needs and/or adisability that require provision to be made for them to be able to learneffectively.

Up to 20% of children and young people can experience some form ofdifficulties with learning.

Some 1% of children and young people have significant and ongoingneeds that require additional provision to be made for them. This isextra provision that is complementary to the additional help andsupport that the school provides.

Many of the children with significant and ongoing needs are identifiedearly through professionals working together in partnership withparents. This enables plans to be made to provide an early response tomeet such needs and to provide support.

1.2 AssessmentProfessionals closely monitor all children’s progress and any concernsare discussed with parents. In most cases these concerns will beaddressed through early intervention support and individualised targetsetting by the class teacher.

Where further support is needed with the advice, guidance and supportof the School’s Additional Learning Needs Co-ordinator (ALNCO)additional support and interventions are provided. This is known asSchool Action.

Where children do not make progress teachers will share their concernswith parents and seek to involve other professionals such as advisoryteachers, behaviour support teachers, and education and childpsychologists. These professionals provide advice, guidance andsupport to the pupil, parents, teachers and the ALNCO.

C

In exceptional cases, despite the implementation of group andindividual interventions a pupil may still not make progress. When thisis the case parents, teachers or health professionals may express theirconcerns for the child.

A Personal Centred Review will be held and with parental collaborationan action plan will be formed to provide support. Such concerns maylead to the child’s needs being identified in an Individual DevelopmentPlan or referred for consideration for statutory assessment.

• the parents• the child• the school• classteachers• ALNCO• support staff• the Educational Child

Psychologist• Physiotherapist

• Health Professionals forexample a Paediatrician

• Speech and LanguageTherapist

• Occupational Therapist• Social Care professionals• any other agency known to

be involved with the child

In response to such a request the department seeks information from:This information is then presented to the Inclusion Panel, chaired by theAdditional Learning Needs Manager and attended by a rota of headteacher representatives and the Principal Educational ChildPsychologist. Where the Inclusion Panel agrees that statutoryassessment is needed because of the degree of the pupil’s difficultiesin depth advice is sought from the people listed above.

Once the information is collected and collated the Inclusion Paneldetermines whether the child’s needs require significant additionalprovision to be made.

Where such additional provision is required, the child’s needs and theways in which they will be met are set out in his or her Statement ofSpecial Educational Needs. This is a legal document that specifies andquantifies the additional provision that is to be made.

Where a Statement of Special Educational Needs names a specificschool then the pupil must be admitted to the school named on thestatement.

1.3 Provision

Equality Act The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 gave parents ofchildren with special educational needs enhanced opportunity toexpress a preference for their child’s needs to be met in a mainstreamsetting.

The Local Authority has developed an Inclusion Strategy to ensure thatwhenever possible children with additional or special educationalneeds can have their needs met in a mainstream setting. The details ofthis approach are set out in its Inclusion Handbook for Schools.

The majority of children with Statements of Special Educational Needswill have their needs met in mainstream schools.

Most receive additional support in their mainstream classroom. Somechildren with significant additional difficulties receive additionalsupport from staff in specialist units and resource centres attached tomainstream schools.

For a very small number of pupils, the Local Authority may, as yet, lackthe facilities and resources to support individual pupils with additionalneeds in mainstream settings. These pupil needs are then met in oneof the Authority’s two special schools.

1.4 Working in PartnershipEducation and Children’s Services take a partnership approach toworking with parents of pupils with additional or special educationalneeds.

Parents can engage in this partnership by: -

(i) speaking with the Headteacher and ALNCO of their local school andtaking part in the assessment of needs, planning of interventionsand discussions with professionals;

(ii) contacting the Authority;(iii) contacting the Parent Partnership Service provided by SNAP Cymru

on 01554 777566 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Carmarthenshire has integrated its services for Inclusion (Education)and Disability (Social Care) to provide better services for children andtheir families. There are regular briefings, newsletters and meetings forparents with Inclusion Officers to enable parents to engage in dialogueand partnership with the Department.

Where children and young people have a significant learning difficultyand complex needs they and their family may be supported by a keyworker in the Children’s Disability Team to ensure needs are assessed,services identified and regularly reviewed.

This enables a consistent approach to be delivered across settings tomeet complex needs.

Special Educational Needs EstablishmentsCarmarthenshire has a range of specialist settings for pupils withadditional learning needs and placement in these settings is agreed atthe county’s Inclusion Panel. For information about each of the settingscontact the Additional Learning Needs Manager (Telephone: 01267246451) who will also respond to enquiries about the settings.

2. Carmarthenshire County Council - School TransportPolicywww.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/schooltransport

This statement sets out the Carmarthenshire County Council’s generalpolicy for the provision of home to school/college transport.Transport will be provided in accordance with the statutoryrequirements of the Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008.

This policy is correct at 1st October, 2017. The policy is currentlyunder review, and any revisions will be subject to consultation.

2.1 General Policy on Providing Free School TransportPupils will qualify for free transport to school if they meet ALL of thefollowing criteria:

• are residents of Carmarthenshire (i.e. Council Tax for registeredhome address is paid to Carmarthenshire - the home address is as

C

defined in the “Admission to School – Information for Parents”booklet published by the Authority);

• are of compulsory school age;• attend the LA designated or nearest school; (the “designated” school

is for a pupil’s registered home address; the “nearest” school ismeasured by the shortest available driving route as measured bythe Council’s mapping system, and includes schools in adjoiningCounties if relevant);

• live over the “statutory distance” from the school. The “statutorydistance” is defined as being 2 miles (3.218 Kilometres) for primaryschools and 3 miles (4.828 Kilometres) for secondary schools, andis measured by the nearest available route from the nearest pointfrom where the applicant’s address meets the public highway tothe nearest available entrance to the school. Although the distanceis sometimes referred to as the “walking distance” it does not implythat the learner is necessarily expected to walk, but it is the distancewithin which a parent/guardian is expected to make their ownarrangements for the learner’s journey, at their own cost, to andfrom school.

Transport MAY also be provided for pupils of compulsory school agein certain circumstances on the following grounds:

• Road Safety, where there is no available walking route to school.The walking route between the home address and school isassessed in accordance with the “Learner Travel (Wales) Measure”guidelines on the Assessment of risk of walked routes to School.

• Medical condition. Individual transport arrangements may be madewhere the medical condition of learners either prevents them frommaking use of the normal transport or the condition prevents themfrom walking the defined “statutory distance". All applications forassistance on medical grounds must be supported by a medicalcertificate or signed statement from a medical practitioner whichmust clearly state that the learner is incapable of walking thespecified “statutory distance” to school. Each statement will besubject to a period of review determined by the condition andagreed with the parent at the time of initial award.

C

• Learners with learning difficulties/disabilities - see point 4 below.• A change of residence during GCSE years. Assistance will be

provided if a learner experiences a change of residence during theirGCSE years (after the October half term break of their first year ofGCSE studies – year 10) provided the learner meets the criteria onage and distance at the new residence and before the change ofresidence was attending the nearest or LA designated school.

• Religious beliefs. Transport will usually be provided should parentschoose to send learners to a voluntary aided school on religiousgrounds and subject to the learner meeting the criteria on age andminimum distance transport, and residing not more than 8 milesfrom the school. Additional arrangements apply for St.John LloydSchool, Llanelli – please ask the Passenger Transport Unit forinformation.

The arrangement and cost of transport to school for pupils who donot qualify for free transport is a parental responsibility. Parents areadvised to contact the Authority prior to a decision being made onchoice of school in order to establish eligibility for free schooltransport.

Applications will be assessed only from a pupil’s home address (asregistered with the school and LA) and transport will usually only beprovided from this address. Parents are responsible for informing thePassenger Transport Unit prior to any change of address, so thateligibility for transport can be reassessed from the new address.

Authorities are required to make provision for learners who reside atmore than one address e.g. split custody arrangements. Sucharrangements must be permanent and established and only for thoseperiods when a learner receives education and training (so not wherea learner spends weekends with a different parent from where thelearner lives in the school week). Further advice and applicationsforms for dual residency transport are obtainable from the PassengerTransport Unit.

The majority of pupils entitled to free school transport will beconveyed on vehicles specifically contracted to the Authority,

however use may also be made of public passenger transport. Insome circumstances a mileage allowance or grant may be made forpart or all of the journey (see point 3 below).

It is not always possible to arrange the routes of vehicles to pass closeto the homes of all pupils, and it may not always be possible toallocate pupils to the bus route nearest to their home address. Parentsare therefore responsible for making their own arrangements for theirlearners to get to and from the designated pick up and set downpoint of the allocated vehicle. This distance will not usually exceed 1.5miles.

The provision of free transport is made on the understanding thatpupils will behave in a manner which has respect for fellow pupils,property and the safety of all. All parties involved in the provision anduse of school transport must abide by the “Home to School/CollegeTransport Code of Conduct”, copies of which are available atwww.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/schooltransport or from theAuthority on request.

2.2 Travel arrangements for learners for whom free transport is notprovidedThe Authority encourages sustainable modes of transport for travel toand from school. For example, the Authority will encourage learnersto walk, cycle or travel by public transport rather than by private carwhere possible. Sustainable modes of transport are defined as oneswhich the Authority can consider may improve the physical wellbeingof those who use them or the environmental wellbeing of the wholeor part of the Local Authority’s area.

Information on local bus and rail services is available from TravelineCymru at www.Traveline.Cymru or on 0800 464 0000. Information andadvice is also available from the County Council atwww.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/transport or on 01267 228 326.The Authority works with public transport providers to encouragesuitable provision for journeys to and from school where possible.

In some areas the Authority has been able to develop a number ofpublic transport routes which allow learners residing within the

“statutory distance” to travel, subject to available capacity, onpayment of a fare. The fare is payable to the driver at the start of eachjourney made, and no prior application is necessary.

The Authority also has a small number of spare seats available onsome contract vehicles which can be made available temporarily(upon payment of an administration fee) on a concessionary basis tolearners living within the “statutory distance” and for whom there isno public transport available, provided the distance to school exceedsone mile and the learner is attending the LA designated or nearestschool. The Authority will determine the number of spare seats thatare available and will prioritise the allocation of spare seats initially tothose in receipt of free school meals. Any surplus seats availablethereafter will be made available to other pupils. All awards will beprioritised to the youngest pupils. The Authority will withdraw anyconcession should the need arise by providing seven days writtennotice. Applications for spare seats must be made by the stipulateddate (usually late September) and will be determined during Octobereach year. Further information in respect of this policy is availablefrom the Authority’s Passenger Transport Unit at Parc Myrddin,Richmond Terrace, Carmarthen SA31 1HQ, telephone 01267 228 313.

2.3 Payment of Travelling ExpensesIn some cases there may be no suitable public transport or contractvehicle available for all or part of a learner’s journey. In thesecircumstances the Authority will offer a fixed mileage allowance orgrant to enable a parent or guardian to convey the pupil to and fromschool (or to an appropriate point to meet a suitable vehicle wherethis distance exceeds 1.5 miles). The payment of travelling expenseswould be made only where the learner is eligible for free transport inaccordance with this policy and the Authority is unable to providesuch transport.
