Safely transporting school boarders to their term time homes with the school transfer chauffeur service

Boarding schools across the country are set to reopen to students in the next few weeks, and that means parents are beginning to think about the logistics of safely transporting their children from home to school.

For the parents of new school boarders, it can be a concern to see their children off to an unfamiliar setting, in perhaps unfamiliar lands. That’s where The Summit’s boarding school transfer service comes in.

We excel in providing peace of mind and calm to an otherwise tense transition in yours and your children’s lives.

The practical side of the school transfer service

It’s best to contact us as soon as you know your final arrangements for the new school term, however we have been school chauffeurs to clients’ children and young adults for many years and understand that last minute needs occur, so always endeavour to accommodate your requests with a pragmatic approach.

• Our chauffeurs are all checked and authorised by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
• All vehicles include an encrypted tracking system to follow your child’s journey from home, wherever that may be
• Drivers practise a standard protocol of giving live updates along the journey, so you know if we’ve stopped for refreshment, or to collect an essential item or person!
• We gain security clearance wherever necessary, including jet-side or port-side access so we can accompany your child from the moment they step off the aeroplane, helicopter, ship or train
• Our chauffeurs are more than drivers to your youngster, we are chaperones, and we are their support.

The emotional benefits to the school transfer service

The equally important, but perhaps a little more fun side of the Summit’s school transfer service is that of how it makes you feel.

Yes, we are very practical and safe, even offering close security services if need be, but we are also humans, many of whom have our own children and we know the emotional upheaval that starting school can cause, for you all.

• Free on-board Wi-Fi allows your child to play games on the journey, contact their friends and stay in touch with you
• Free charging points ensure they never run out of power
• The journey to boarding school can be shared among friends
• Cushions, lap desks, umbrellas, blankets, even a fridge, and anything they need are all available on request
• If you’d like to accompany your child and return home or to the airport afterwards, this is perfectly agreeable, and dogs are welcome too!
• You may request your child’s favourite snacks and drinks for the journey.

We want you to know that whilst they are under our supervision, we care for your children as if they were our own. You can trust us with the most important journeys in your life.
