Transport for Schools

In order to support schools participating in NTLT or STEM programmes, the Trust has established a modest transport budget for NTLT Partner Schools. Match funding will be awarded for STEM or NTLT related activities on a needs basis, in order to enable wider participation. If your school needs assistance in paying for transport, please complete the form below. Applications will be assessed on a needs basis and you will be informed within 10 working days if your application has been successful.

Terms and Conditions and Eligibility Criteria

Applications will only be considered if:

• Clear and reasonable effort has been made to use existing minibus facilities or public transport

• Where available, other forms of grants have been explored

• Transport to the activity/event will be a barrier to school participation

• Quoted costs are competitive and reasonable for the distance being travelled

• Application has been made in good time prior to the planned excursion, grant applications must be received and approved ahead of trips as grants cannot be awarded retrospectively
