(2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), the school shall, in respect of each school year, pay travel grant to the parents of an aided pupil attending the school in relation to school travel expenditure reasonably incurred in relation to journeys made by the pupil in that year to or from his home or to visit a parent or guardian or other relative.
(3) The school shall not pay travel grant in respect of more than 12 single journeys by an aided pupil, either to or from the school, in any school year, and in calculating the school travel expenditure:
(a)where a pupil’s expenses are in respect of journeys made by public transport and exceed the expenses that would have been incurred if advantage had been taken of available arrangements for reduced or concessionary fares, the excess shall be disregarded;
(b)where the pupil visits a place other than the pupil’s home (that is to say the place where the pupil normally resides when not at school), and his expenses exceed the amount which they would have been if the visit had been to his home, the excess shall be disregarded;
(c)where a visit is to a place outside the British Islands, so much of the expenses as are in respect of a journey between a port, hoverport, airport or Channel Tunnel terminal within the British Islands and that place shall be disregarded.
