Paragraph 20 School travel grants — weekly boarding pupils
This paragraph shall apply in the case of an aided pupil who is a weekly boarder at the school.
Subject to and in accordance with paragraph 23, where an aided pupil’s walking distance between home and school exceeds three miles, the school shall, in respect of each school year, pay a school travel grant to the parents of the pupil in relation to school travel expenditure incurred in respect of journeys between home and school in that year:
-
Provided that, for the purposes hereof and of paragraph 23, where a pupil’s expenses are in respect of journeys by public transport and they are in excess of what they would have been if advantage had been taken of available arrangements for season tickets or reduced or concessionary fares, the excess shall be disregarded.
