Find out if your child is eligible for help with the cost of home to school transport.

Statement regarding the withdrawal of Brixham College school buses.

Brixham College recently told parents that they will withdraw the college's school bus service. This decision was made by Brixham College and did not involve us. We know that many young people, parents and carers will be understandably anxious about how children will travel to school.

We want to direct parents to our school transport pages below. These pages explain eligibility criteria and application information. Please review them to find out if your child can get support.

We know this is a challenging time for many families. However, we apply statutory eligibility criteria strictly when it considering applications. This makes sure that we treat all young people across Torbay fairly.

Due to the number of enquiries, we are unfortunately not able to discuss individual circumstances by telephone. Please review the information available on the below pages carefully before applying for school transport for September 2026/27.

Delay in processing applications

School transport applications are currently taking longer to process. Please be assured that we're reviewing all applications as quickly as possible.
