If your child is due to start a special school in September, we will aim to contact you during the spring term. If you do not hear from us by the end of May, or if your child is starting a special school at any other time of year and you have not heard from us, please complete an online transport application form.

When your transport application form has been received, a member of the School Transport Team will contact you to discuss the transport requirements.

For education transport-related queries, please contact the School Transport Team on 0345 155 1019 or by emailing schooltransportservicequeries-mailbox@devon.gov.uk.
