pupil coach service
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-to-day basis by the coach office. Coaches are hired from reputable firms who have a good record of service to the schools.
To find a coach route and the nearest stop to your home enter your postcode in the search box of the interactive map in our dedicated online booking system.
This will give details of morning pick up times and approximate drop off times in the afternoon, as well as information regarding termly fares and an option to book a sea on your preferred route should you wish to do so.
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 either of the 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 you can join a waiting list and a seat on the preferred route will be allocated as soon as a place becomes available.
Upon booking you will get a notification confirming your booking with details of the relevant route and stop. 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.
Coach Fees
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 termly coach fees for 2024/25 will be based on the number of school days in the term. Accordingly, the fees will be:
Autumn Term - £792
Spring Term - £677
Summer Term - £600
