Transport To School

Within the UK, there are thousands of children and parents who rely on transportation each day to get them to and from their school.

Here at Grange Transport, we pride ourselves on the fact that we support this fundamental time in a child’s life, ensuring all parents and guardians have a way to take their children to their place of education.

Independent Travel

The governments Travel Co-ordination Unit (TCU) is responsible for providing travel assistance between home and school for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). The TCU aims to increase choice and better meet the diverse needs for SEND pupils. By doing so, it offers a broader, flexible range of assistance options, therefore promoting independent travel where possible to ensure young people can lead independent lifestyles.

With that in mind, our fleet has been meticulously designed for the needs of our SEND customers. To meet your needs, we ensure our vehicles are fitted with state-of-the-art equipment to bring reliable and safe transport solutions.
