SCHOOL RUNS · SW17
Arrange recurring school pickups with an agreed handover and support plan. Tell our 24-hour office the school, days and timings for a tailored quote.
FROM SW17
We arrange morning or afternoon school runs from SW17, one way or return, on selected weekdays or during term time. Ask us about occasional cover or a one-off school, club or exam journey too. 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 and, where relevant, the school or commissioner before the first run. It covers the route, schedule, handover, emergency contacts, support and what to do if the child, recipient or usual driver is unavailable. 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.
PLAN EACH RUN
Agree the journey, authorised handover and change process before the first run.
Give us the SW17 collection address, destination school and exact entrance, days and timings. Tell us if the journey is one way or return, who may arrange or change it, and whether a parent or passenger assistant travels. For multiple children, agree the stop order and handover cover. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle booking information.
Name the authorised adults or organisation for collection and arrival, with emergency and backup contacts. Changed instructions are verified through the agreed authority route; a tracking link or PIN does not by itself change handover permission.
The authorised contact can request an absence or change by phone or app; prior-day notice is encouraged and agreed fees may apply. Tell the office about delays or missed handovers too. Receipt of a request is not acceptance: the office confirms an accepted schedule or booking change and informs those affected. If a time-critical message has not been acknowledged, call the office.
SUPPORT THAT FITS THE PLAN
Tell us what helps your child travel comfortably, including communication, sensory preferences, boarding, seating, restraint and handover. SEND does not automatically mean a passenger assistant is needed, while some journeys need more support than a driver can provide. We agree the role and practical plan before accepting the arrangement.
You can provide a passenger assistant, or ask KB to source one. A PA has a proper passenger seat and may support boarding, communication, supervision, agreed responses to distress and handover while the driver concentrates on driving. Medication, lifting, personal care or physical intervention require separately assessed competence and an appropriate plan.
Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair are free. Tell the office in advance about the help needed so we can plan suitable assistance. You can bring a suitable child seat or ask KB to arrange one; discuss suitability, availability and any charge with the office. KB has no wheelchair-accessible vehicles, so a child cannot travel seated in a wheelchair; discuss boarding, seating and any folded chair with us.
GOOD TO KNOW
Practical answers for planning your child's journey.
Yes. We can discuss morning or afternoon travel, one direction, selected weekdays, term-time arrangements, occasional cover and one-off school, club or exam journeys. Share the timetable and any changed finish times so the office can agree the plan.
Give us the destination school and exact entrance or gate, together with the full collection address and planned handover point. SW17 identifies the origin area, not the school route. Tell us about access restrictions, including any School Street arrangements, so we can agree a safe, lawful meeting point and check any relevant permissions.
Yes. Tell us when you enquire. It is a request rather than a promise for every run; if a genuine problem needs a replacement, the office arranges a suitable approved driver and lets you know.
Your child is not left alone or treated as an ordinary no-show. The office follows the agreed, risk-appropriate escalation plan, maintains safe supervision and confirms what happens next. The plan also covers delays and changes to authorised recipients.
A booking is confirmed when KB sends confirmation by SMS and/or email. An enquiry, quote or payment alone does not confirm a car. The office first discusses the individual arrangement and provides a tailored quote.
YOUR ARRANGEMENTS
We arrange parent-booked school transport and welcome school or council commission enquiries. The office discusses the requirements and acceptance arrangements for each journey; a family booking does not imply a school or council contract.
