  • transporting registered pupils to or from the school premises, where the local education authority has a statutory obligation to provide transport;
  • transporting registered pupils to other premises where the governing body or local education authority has arranged for pupils to be educated;
  • transport that enables a pupil to meet an examination requirement when he has been prepared for that examination at the school; and
  • transport provided in connection with an educational visit.

Please see the guidance on school travel.
