Applications for Exam Transport now open

All pupils sitting exams that begin and end within the normal school time will be expected to either make use of the school transport provided or make their own arrangements to get to and from the exams they are sitting.  For example, if an exam begins at 11.30 am and finishes at 1.30 pm, no additional transport will be provided either to or from school. 

West Lothian Council will provide additional school transport for exams for pupils who have an entitlement to free school transport.  Transport will only be provided as follows: 

• Where an examination falls on a day when transport to and from school would not otherwise be provided (including local holidays and in-service days) the Passenger Transport service will provide transport to school to arrive in time for the first examination of that day, and transport from school after the last examination of that day. 

• Where an exam finishes after the normal school time.  Note that where an exam finishes within 15  minutes of the school closing time the school transport services will be held back and should be used. 

Applications will be accepted from Thursday 27th of March 2025  and will close on Tuesday 1st of April 2025.  Applications can be made online at:  Exam Transport 2025 (opens new window)l 

Please note that only students who make an application for transport will be allowed to travel
