Moray: School transport applications for P1 and S1 starters deadline Wed 26th June
Still to apply for school transport? The deadline is fast approaching so don't miss the bus!
If your child is starting P1 or S1 in August 2024 and will be travelling by school transport, you need to get your application in to us by Wednesday 26 June at the very latest so it can be authorised by their school in time.
If they've been using school transport in primary school and are due to start secondary this year, you'll still need to complete a new form.
If they're going into P2-7 or S2-6 there's no need to re-submit a form.
Travel passes for new P1s and S1s will be sent out during the summer holidays. This will include a letter with contact details for the operator of the route they'll be travelling on.

The Armed Forces Families Fund: Early Years programme is now accepting new applications!
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (The Trust) are offering grants of between £5,000 and £50,000 for projects that will help to enhance early childhood education and childcare settings to meet the specific needs of young children from Armed Forces families.
What is the Early Years Programme all about?
The Early Years programme is designed to help Armed Forces families access good quality early childhood education and childcare provision close to where they live or Serve.
The programme will address specific needs that early childhood educators have identified and will award projects that will contribute to one of three outcomes.
* Increased capacity at the setting to allow more Service children to attend.
* Providing better learning environments for Service children.
* Providing appropriate training and development of staff to support Service children.
Who can apply?
Applications are now open for early childhood education and childcare providers serving Armed Forces families near where they live or work. To be eligible, your setting will need to offer group-based childcare where children from Armed Forces families comprise at least 50% of the children on roll.
Have a smaller number of Service children than this? Settings with less than 50% Service children on roll can form ‘clusters’ of two or more settings. As a cluster, you can apply for funding for:
* staff training with an Armed Forces focus.
* funding for a shared resource, such as a roving Armed Forces Early Years Support Worker.
Local authorities and organisations providing specialised training for staff to support Service children can also apply.
What type of projects are we looking to support?
The Trust are looking for projects that can significantly benefit Armed Forces families with children under 5 years by improving access to good quality childcare. You’ll need to show that your project will address existing support gaps, deliver sustainable change, and be developed in partnership with Armed Forces communities.
Sonia Howe, Director of Policy at the Trust, said “We are delighted to once again be able to offer opportunities for Early Years settings to build on the provision they can offer for Service children. The three core outcomes of this programme represent a positive future for Armed Forces families with children under 5 years. We are excited to see how settings interpret the programme outcomes, and we’re looking forward to receiving some great applications for support.”
The first application deadline is 12pm on 24 July 2024. A second round will close at 12pm on 20 November 2024.

You can find full details of the programme, eligibility and how to apply on the Trust website.
