Privilege seat applications welcomed
Published: 28 June 2023
A two-week window for applications for ‘privilege seats’ on school buses for the 2023/24 academic year has been opened by the Isle of Wight Council.
Parents and guardians of children not eligible for free school transport can apply for a privilege seat until 12 noon on Friday 7 July.
Details on how to apply are available on the council's website.
Applications must be during the online application window and seats will be allocated after the closing date. The process will select successful applicants randomly.
A privilege seat costs £390 — the equivalent of around £2 a day over the academic year — which can be paid in termly or half termly instalments.
