Thats ok if you live in accrington but im over 100 miles away in the sticks, It states on the letter if you are in reciept of free school meals or the highest rate of WTC you are eligible for free school transport if you live 2 - 6 miles away from your nearest school, well im miles away from the nearest school and dont get free meals or the highest rate of WTC, last year when we filled out the school application forms we were told that if we lived more than 3 miles away from our nearest secondary school that we would be entitled to free transport that has now changed
