Surplus seat applications

If your child is not entitled to free school transport, you can apply to purchase a surplus seat pass. Please call us on 01202 338420 or email enquiries@damory.co.uk to apply for a surplus seat for services to any of the following schools:

  • Allenbourn Middle School
  • Blandford School
  • Dorchester Middle School
  • Ferndown Middle School
  • Ferndown Upper School
  • Lytchett Minster School
  • Purbeck School
  • Queen Elizabeth's School
  • St Michael's Middle School
  • Shaftesbury School
  • Thomas Hardye School
  • West Moors Middle School

Details of routes and timetables for these schools can be viewed here

If you require a surplus seat for travel to any other school in the Dorset Council area, please see the Dorset Council website for details of how to apply.

Please note:

  • You should only apply for a surplus seat if your child is a non-entitled student. If you believe that your child is actually an entitled student you will need to apply to Dorset Council. Details of qualifying criteria and an online application form can be found here. 
  • Unfortunately there is no guarantee of transport for non-entitled students and submitting a surplus seat application does not guarantee that a pass will be available to purchase. Our obligation is to provide transport for all statutorily entitled students, and only once this has been ensured can we consider surplus seat applicants. We will try our best to offer passes to as many applicants as we possibly can, and we are usually able to accommodate the very large majority of those applying.
