SCHOOL TRANSPORT FROM SM6
Arrange a recurring school journey with an individual handover and support plan. Discuss the school, days and timings with our 24-hour office for a tailored quote.
A JOURNEY THAT FITS
We arrange morning or afternoon journeys, travel in one direction, selected weekdays and term-time runs, as well as occasional cover and one-off trips. Tell us about clubs, exams or changed finish times. A parent can accompany the child, continue onward or be dropped off first when agreed.
Our office agrees an individual travel plan with the authorised booker before the first journey. It covers the route, handover, support, backup contacts and responses to disruption. If a school or commissioner is involved, we can consider its requirements too.
PLAN THE RUN
Our office will discuss the arrangement and provide a tailored quote before the journey is booked.
Share the SM6 collection address, destination school and exact entrance, days and timings. Tell us about relevant communication, seating, mobility or support needs, and whether a parent or passenger assistant will accompany your child.
Name the authorised receiving adults or organisation, provide backup contacts and agree how changed instructions are verified. The plan covers delays, distress, a missing child and a safe response if the usual recipient or collection arrangement is unavailable. KB Cars is registered with the ICO. Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.
The authorised booker or contact can request an absence or change through the office or agreed app route. Receipt of a request is not acceptance: wait for confirmation of the actual updated arrangement. For a time-critical change, call the office if your message has not been acknowledged.
Need occasional cover? Ask about a one-off journey or cover for a changed finish time as well as a regular run. We’ll discuss the arrangement and quote before accepting it.
SUPPORT AND CONTINUITY
Tell us about communication, sensory preferences, boarding, seating, restraint and handover needs. The driver needs to concentrate on driving; a passenger assistant can provide agreed supervision, communication or support at stops. You can provide an assistant or ask KB to source one, and we’ll agree responsibilities before accepting the plan.
Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags are free; tell the office in advance where possible so suitable help can be arranged. Medication, personal care, lifting or physical intervention need an individual plan, appropriate competence and practical arrangements. You can request the same driver; if a replacement is needed, the office arranges a suitable approved driver and informs you.
You can bring your own suitable child seat or ask KB to arrange one in advance, subject to availability and suitability. Tell the office about your child’s relevant seat needs and confirm any charge.
GOOD TO KNOW
Practical answers for arranging and managing your child’s journey.
Give the full collection address, destination school and exact entrance, days and collection and drop-off times. Say whether travel is morning, afternoon, term-time or occasional, and include any stops, parent or passenger assistant arrangements and relevant communication, mobility, seating or restraint needs.
Agree the actual school site, entrance and practical meeting point with the office. SM6 is the origin area, not the destination; a postcode or landmark alone does not establish where a vehicle can stop. Tell us about access restrictions, including any School Street arrangements, so the appropriate access and a safe stopping point can be checked.
Yes. Selected weekdays, morning or afternoon journeys, term-time travel, clubs, exams, one-off trips and changed finish times can be discussed. For an absence or new time, the authorised contact can use the office or agreed app route; prior-day notice is encouraged and fees may apply under the agreed terms. Acknowledgment of the request is not acceptance: wait for confirmation of the updated arrangement.
The child is not simply left. The plan agreed before the first journey identifies the authorised recipient and safe response to a delay or failed handover. If an adult is late, a code fails or instructions change, the office is contacted and safe supervision maintained while the agreed escalation procedure is followed. Changed recipients must be verified; a code or tracking access alone does not authorise handover. A parent or passenger assistant can be part of the plan where agreed.
BOOKING AND APPROVAL
We welcome enquiries from families and from schools or councils commissioning transport. Drivers assigned to our school service complete KB’s school-transport induction and office approval, with a briefing on the agreed journey and handover plan.
An enquiry or quote alone does not confirm a booking. Once the arrangement is accepted, KB sends confirmation by SMS and/or email.
