16+ Kent Travel Card
For the current Year 11 and Year 12 starting our Sixth Form in September 2024, students wishing to travel by bus will be able to apply directly to KCC Public Transport for a ‘Kent 16+ Travel Saver card’ online .
To find out whether you are eligible for a Kent 16+ Travel Saver card and for further information please go to:
Applications must be made online at: www.kent.gov.uk/post16travel by 11 August 2024. Applicants will need to have all of the student’s information (including details of the establishment that they are going to attend), a passport style photo in the appropriate format and a credit or debit card for payment. Payments must be paid to KCC and should not be sent to the school. The full payment is £600, but you can also apply to pay in instalments.
If you are eligible for a vulnerable learner bursary, eligible for Free School Meals or would like to apply for a discretionary learning bursary, please complete the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund available on our website (link below) and return it to Ms Archer by Friday 12 July 2024.

All cards will be issued at the beginning of the September term. Please note that if you apply for a Travel Saver card after 11 August 2024, you may need to wait up to 4 weeks for KCC to send the pass to your school and it may not be ready to collect at the start of term.
