Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Cornwall and are not the council. About us

The Appeals Committee of Cornwall Council is scheduled to convene on Monday 15 June 2026 to consider several appeals regarding school transport. The committee will review individual cases for travel assistance to various schools across Cornwall.

School Transport Appeals

The primary focus of the meeting will be the consideration of multiple appeals related to travel assistance for pupils attending different educational institutions. The committee is scheduled to review cases concerning travel to:

  • Cubert School
  • The Roseland Academy (two separate cases)
  • Trenode C of E Primary Academy
  • Sir James Smith's School
  • St Agnes Academy
  • Marine Academy Plymouth

Each of these items, detailed within the public reports pack1, will involve a review of individual circumstances to determine eligibility for school transport assistance. The procedure for these hearings is outlined in the agenda2, which includes the presentation of cases by the Transport Coordination Service, questions from the committee, and submissions from the appellant or their representative.

The committee will also consider whether to exclude the press and public from certain parts of the meeting. This is in accordance with the Local Government Act 19723, which allows for the exclusion of information that is likely to disclose exempt information relating to an individual.
