A bus driver has been charged with sexually touching children with disabilities while taking them to school.

The 51-year-old man was arrested at Blacktown police station on Monday following investigations by NSW Police's Child Abuse Squad.

He was charged with six counts of intentionally sexually touching a child between 10 and 16 years old.

Police allege the man sexually assaulted several children with disabilities while driving them to a public high school in western Sydney.

He was granted bail on Tuesday on the condition that he did not enter the vicinity of the school or talk to any of the alleged victims.

The man was also ordered to report daily to police.

He is set to reappear at Blacktown Local Court on September 19.

A NSW Department of Education spokeswoman declined to comment on the case as it was before the courts.
