Transport

Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Is Coed works very closely with Newport Transport and Monmouthshire Transport.

Bus passes must be valid and presented for each journey or money to purchase a ticket for travel to and from school.

Academic Year 25/26:

Students from Newport areas

Parents of eligible children starting in Year 7 in September 2025, can apply for free school transport using this link at Newport City Council. If parents/carers haven’t yet applied, please ring 01633 646646 and ask for the passenger transport team.
Pupils already using school transport do not need to re-apply unless they have moved home address or changed school.
Season tickets will automatically be renewed for existing pass holders or for new pupils applying for September and meeting qualifying requirements, sent to your home address during August.
Contract permits issued previously will not expire until the date shown on the pass.

If there is a change of school, home address or if the council finds a shorter walking route within the distance criteria limit, a child may no longer be eligible for free home to school transport.
If a child's home address changes, please inform Newport City Council immediately.
Only pupils in Reception and Year 7 and others making a first application need to apply.
