County School Transport
This service is open to students who are entitled to free county transport. Usually, free transport is available to students who live further than three miles from Mounts Bay Academy, but still within the Penzance designated area (catchment area). Students from outside the Penzance Designated area as set out by Cornwall Council here are very welcome to enrol at the Academy, but they are liable for the transport costs to and from school.
The council will normally contact you, but if you think you may be eligible and have not heard from they have requested that you contact them.
Cornwall Council have set out their own guidance for transport procedures.
