The allocation of School transport for Orchard School pupils is overseen by the Travel Assistance Service (TAS). Orchard School has no part in the management and organisation of this. School transport is only available to pupils aged 5-16, and allocation is dependent on distance between home and school.

The contact number for the Travel Assistance Service is 0121 569 4888

Please contact them directly to cancel transport if your child is ill or if you have other questions or queries.

You can read the Sandwell SEND Transport Policy

Transport requests can be made using the request and guidance information.
