Regular termly routes
The same journey each school day through a term, with agreed collection and return times for the family and the setting.
School transport
Home-to-School Transport in Warwickshire
Planned journeys between home and school or college, arranged around the passenger, the route and the timings that work for the family and the setting.
Overview
About School transport
School journeys work when they are predictable. The same collection point, a realistic time, a driver who understands the route and a family who knows exactly what has been agreed. Road Buddy Transport can discuss planned home-to-school journeys, regular termly routes and individual passenger requirements.
We plan these arrangements properly before they start. That means talking through the address, the setting, the days and times, how many passengers travel and whether any assistance is needed, so the arrangement is workable from the first morning rather than adjusted week by week.
Eligibility and council-funded travel assistance are determined by the relevant local authority. We are not part of that decision. If you are enquiring privately, or a school or authority is looking for a provider, we are happy to discuss what is possible.
Who this suits
- Families arranging a regular journey to school or college
- Schools looking to discuss passenger transport
- Local authorities exploring providers for routes
- Passengers who benefit from a consistent arrangement
- Journeys needing a passenger assistant, where agreed
- Routes needing a larger or accessible vehicle
Journey types
School journeys we can discuss
Single-passenger journeys
A journey arranged for one passenger, where the route and timings are built around that person rather than a shared run.
Shared routes
Journeys where more than one passenger travels the same route, using a 6 or 8-seater vehicle where suitable and agreed.
College and sixth-form travel
Journeys to further-education settings, including timetables that vary between days of the week.
Temporary arrangements
Cover for part of a term, a change of address, or a short period when the usual arrangement is not available.
Return-only or one-way
Morning-only or afternoon-only journeys where the family covers the other leg themselves.
Vehicles and access
Vehicle and accessibility considerations
Vehicle choice depends on how many passengers travel, the route and any equipment carried. 4, 6 and 8-seater options are available, and wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged subject to requirements and availability.
Where a wheelchair space is required, the number of passenger seats reduces. Bags, instruments, sports kit and mobility equipment also take room. We confirm the suitable vehicle with you before the arrangement begins.
Helpful details to include
- Collection address or postcode
- School, college or setting and its location
- Days of the week and required times
- Number of passengers travelling
- Whether a passenger assistant has been agreed
- Any equipment or accessibility requirements

Sensitive information and local authority decisions
Please do not ask us to accept diagnoses, detailed medical information or safeguarding information through the website form. Those conversations belong on the telephone or in a properly arranged discussion with the family, school or authority involved.
Road Buddy Transport does not decide whether a passenger qualifies for council-funded travel assistance. That decision rests with the relevant local authority, and we would always encourage families to speak to them directly about entitlement.
We describe only what we can genuinely provide: a planned journey, an agreed vehicle, a route understood in advance and a passenger assistant where that has been arranged.

Questions
School transport questions
How do I arrange home-to-school transport?
Send us the collection address, the school or setting, the days and times required and the number of passengers travelling. We will reply about availability and price for that route. Nothing is confirmed until we confirm it back to you.
Do you decide whether my child gets free school transport?
No. Eligibility and council-funded travel assistance are determined by the relevant local authority. We can talk to you about arranging a journey, but decisions about funding and entitlement are not ours to make.
Can the same driver do the route every day?
Consistency is something we aim for and will discuss with you when planning a route, but we do not promise a guaranteed named driver for every journey.
Can a passenger assistant travel with my child?
A passenger assistant can be arranged where it is required and agreed in advance. It is not automatically included on every journey, so please raise it when you first make contact.
What should I not send through the website?
Please do not submit diagnoses, detailed medical information or safeguarding information through the public form. Call us instead if the journey needs that level of discussion.
Can you cover part of a term or a temporary arrangement?
Yes, temporary and short-term arrangements can be discussed alongside full termly routes. Tell us the dates you need and we will check availability.
Safe Journeys. Trusted Care.
