Coach Services to LEH
Pupilcoach Ltd is a joint trading company wholly owned by Hampton School and LEH. It exists to provide a service to parents requiring help in getting their children to and from school. The service is run on a day-today basis by the Coach Co-ordinator. Coaches are hired from reputable firms who have a good record of service to the schools.
The service, including overheads, is paid for by those parents using the service. The business plan aims to break even over the course of the financial year and to receive no subsidy from the two schools. Charges are collected termly via the school billing system.
It is the objective of the service to provide a place for every pupil for whom a booking form has been received and who resides within the catchment area. Wherever possible this will be on the route requested by the parent. Where this is not possible the pupil is placed on a waiting list and allocated a seat on the preferred route as soon as a place becomes available.
The pick up and drop off points are notified by the Joint Coach Office to all parents who use the service. Coach drivers are only permitted to stop at these points and are expressly forbidden from deviating from this schedule.
In the mornings pupils are dropped off on the school side of Hanworth Road within easy walking distance of their respective pedestrian entrances. In the afternoon both schools supervise the process of loading coaches within their own grounds.
The termly charge normally covers the whole of the academic year, however, we do reserve the right to make changes in-year and pass on increased costs above that allowed for in the business plan. The charge for the next academic year is notified to parents by no later than 15th May annually. The charge in 2011/12 is £315 per term.
