School Transport

Marymount International School London’s School Transport covers a broad geographic area with an aim for the route to take no longer than one hour. Door-to-door routes are re-evaluated each year as the School seeks to best serve the needs of its current and new families. To that end, please review the information below, provide your family’s specific details, and complete the School Transport Registration form to register. Based on the information gathered, routes will be established, and families will be notified at the end of August with specifics, including collection/delivery times, vehicle type and driver’s route/contact information.

 

Registration

Register your daughter for school transport on SchoolsBuddy.

Terms and Conditions

Collection and Delivery Times

Marymount offers morning (collection is generally between 7.00am and 7.30am depending on route and distance from School) and afternoon (approximately 4.10pm) transport service.

The School also offers late transport (departing at 6.10pm) for students participating in after school activities. There is an additional cost for the late service option £1,170 which will be charged separately. Please note that students enrolled in late transport have the option of afternoon or evening service.

As a route may have several stops, it is imperative that the driver remains on schedule. The driver will be permitted to only wait two to three minutes past a scheduled collection time in order to not delay other students. Due to the unpredictable nature of traffic, it is possible that the driver may arrive early or be a few minutes late.

Safety

Vehicles are equipped with seat belts which students are required to wear. All School transport drivers have undergone an Enhanced DBS Check and meet periodically with the Bursar and Headmistress. Drivers are assigned and remain connected to specific routes throughout the academic year. We are looking at tracking to provide live data to parents and the school.

Student Absence from School

Contact numbers will be provided so that the transport company/driver can be informed directly in the event a student is ill or will not require transport.

Refunds

Refunds will not be granted for occasions when a student does not utilise the transport due to school absence or late arrival.

Inclement Weather

In the event of severe weather conditions which might make the journey hazardous, the School reserves the right to adjust or cancel transport service; families will be contacted as soon as a final decision has been made.

Cancellation

School Transport is charged annually based on distance of a roundtrip service on all school days. A notice period of one full term must be given in order to discontinue service.

Giving Consent

The school is in the process of procuring a tracking system that would share real-time information about the School Transport between drivers, passengers, and their parents. The details provided on School Transport Registration form will be shared with third party providing the system. Notifications regarding the transport will be sent to pupils and their parents. The school’s policy and GDPR are in place to protect pupils and their parents’ data.

Additional Transport Options

Where it is not feasible for the school to offer transport, Marymount students also utilise other means of transportation outside of the School’s Transport Program outlined above. Additional options for families to consider include:

  • Carpooling with other Marymount families
  • Local bus and train transport: Marymount is ideally located within walking distance (<15 minutes) to several convenient bus lines (57, 85, K2, K3) as well as Norbiton and New Malden Stations (<20 minutes by foot).
  • Privately organised transport service: In the event that Marymount’s School Transport Program does not extend to a desired geographic area, some families choose to arrange service directly through a private company. While there are many from which to choose, the School regularly uses the following companies: Dynamic Cars (013 7261 3001); Zedcarz (020 8949 5555), Top Cars (0208 5468888), and Premier Cars (020 8274 9000).
