Travel Passes


More than 3 miles away

Students aged 16-18 who live more than 3 miles^ away from KGV Sixth Form College are eligible for a travel pass for bus or train (or travel funds where necessary).

You will still need to apply for this using the Pay My Student Portal, and although the pass is guaranteed if you live more than 3 miles^ away from the college, we do need formal confirmation of parental income. This is so that we can allocate the pass from the correct funding stream.

Between 1 and 2.9 miles away

Students aged 16-18 who live between 1 and 2.9 miles^ away from the College may still be eligible for a free travel pass but are means tested to assess their eligibility. Please apply using the Pay My Student Portal, so that we can also assess what other help you may be entitled to.

^It is College policy to assess eligibility by measuring the shortest walking distance using Google Maps.

To apply for your College Travel Pass, you need to register and apply through the PayMyStudent portal.

We need to take details of household income so that your travel pass is charged to the correct funding stream and that College comply with government funding guidelines.

Please log on using the “No Student Number?” option. You should be issued with a temporary ID enabling you to progress your application – you will need to use the temporary number beginning “TMP” when logging on to complete an application.

We will get in touch if we need to see paper copies of your documents. The main reason for this is if the documents were “chopped” when photographed so are missing information. Please ensure that the images are complete before you upload them to your application.

For a Trio Card or Rail pass (not a simple bus pass) you will need to provide 1 passport sized photograph that you need to bring into college and have stamped before you can collect your pass from the train station.
