SCHOOL TRANSPORT · SW6

School runs from SW6 A plan for your child.

Arrange recurring school pickups from SW6 with a plan for your child’s journey and handover. Our 24-hour office will discuss the school and timetable and provide a tailored quote.

FROM SW6

School journeys that fit your family’s routine

Arrange a parent-booked school journey from SW6 for mornings, afternoons, selected weekdays, term-time or occasional cover. One-way trips, returns, clubs, exams and changed finish times can be discussed, as can a same-driver arrangement.

If collection is near Fulham Broadway or Imperial Wharf, give the actual address rather than the station name, along with the destination school and its exact gate or entrance. We can agree a safe, lawful meeting point and check any School Street access or permissions; private hire is not automatically exempt.

Discuss the arrangements

PLAN THE SCHOOL RUN

A clear plan for the journey and handover

Before the first journey, we agree a child-specific plan with the authorised booker and, where relevant, the school or commissioner. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle booking information.

Agree the route and routine

Agree the child and authorised booker, collection address, school entrance, days, times and any stops. The plan records communication, mobility, seating or restraint needs, expected support and emergency or backup contacts.

Set collection and handover

Name the authorised adults or receiving organisation and agree how changes are verified. The plan covers safe supervision and escalation if a child is missing or distressed, no recipient is present, or a code fails.

Keep changes with the office

The booker or designated authorised contact can request absences or changes through the office. Receipt of a request is not acceptance: wait for confirmation of the actual change. If a driver has an emergency, the office arranges a suitable approved replacement and informs the parent.

If a parent or PA travels too A parent or passenger assistant (PA) may accompany the child. Agree what they will handle and how handover works if they cannot attend. A parent may also continue onward or be dropped off first when agreed.

SUPPORT THAT FITS THE CHILD

Agree the right support before travel

Tell us what helps your child travel comfortably, including communication, sensory preferences or triggers, boarding, seating, restraint and handover needs. We agree the support needed on the road and at each stop. You can provide a passenger assistant (PA), or ask KB to source one; responsibilities and suitability are agreed before acceptance. A PA can help with boarding, communication, supervision and handover while the driver focuses on driving.

Guidance to the car and loading ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair are free. Tell the office in advance about the help needed so it can coordinate a suitable arrangement; this does not restrict assistance required by law. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles: carrying a folded chair does not allow travel seated in it. Agree boarding and seating needs with the office.

An optional escort inside a building is assessed for the task and may be free or carry an agreed charge. Lifting, medication, personal care, specialist equipment or physical intervention require separate assessment and competent arrangements. You can bring a suitable child seat or ask us to arrange one, subject to suitability and availability; give the office the relevant child and seat details first.

Talk through support needs

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions parents ask

Practical answers about planning, changes and support for an SW6 school run.

What should I include in an SW6 school-run enquiry?

Give the full collection address, destination school and entrance, direction, days and times, passengers, return or extra stops, and any vehicle, child-seat or assistance requirements. Near Fulham Broadway or Imperial Wharf, the actual address matters more than the station name.

The office will discuss the journey and provide a tailored quote. An enquiry, quote or payment alone does not confirm a booking; KB confirms it by SMS and/or email.

Can the run cover clubs or changed finish times?

Yes. One-way journeys, selected weekdays, term-time or occasional cover, clubs, exams and changed finish times can be discussed.

The authorised contact can request an absence or change by phone or app. Prior-day notice is encouraged and fees may apply under agreed terms. Acknowledgment of a request is not acceptance: wait for confirmation of the revised schedule. For a time-critical change, call the office if your message has not been confirmed.

How is handover handled if plans change?

The office verifies a changed recipient through the agreed authority route. Name authorised adults or the receiving organisation in the child’s plan; knowing a PIN or having tracking access alone does not authorise handover.

If nobody is present or a code fails, the child remains safely supervised while the office is contacted and the agreed escalation plan is followed.

Can you arrange a passenger assistant or same driver?

Yes. Same-driver arrangements are available on request. If a genuine problem requires a replacement, the office arranges a suitable approved driver and informs the parent.

You can supply a PA or ask KB to source one. Explain the support required so the office can agree the role and assess suitability before accepting the arrangement.

YOUR ARRANGEMENTS

School transport for families and commissioners

We arrange school transport for families and welcome school or council commission enquiries. Each arrangement is assessed and agreed with the appropriate authorised person; an enquiry does not imply a school contract or council-funded place.

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.
