School transport consultations

School Transport Policy

The Council is required by law to consult on any changes to its School Transport Policy.

We would like to hear from you about the proposed changes to the School Transport Policy. (This used to be known as the ‘Home to School Transport Policy’)

The School Transport Policy sets out the legal responsibilities of the Council. It has to provide assistance with transport to school or education setting for children and young people living in the local authority area.

The findings of the consultation will be published and presented to Isle of Wight Council Children's Services, Education and Skills Committee in January 2026.

The findings will help the Council make a decision on the proposed changes to the policy.

Consultation opens: Monday 6 October 2025

Consultation closes: 11.59pm on Friday 28 November 2025

Note that responses received after this time will not be included in the findings report.
