Kent College Transport Service
 The Kent College Transport Service offers flexibility, allowing families to book regularly in advance or on an occasional basis. We aim to help reduce the stress of the school run by offering a service that accommodates the needs of our day pupils and their families.
There are 11 different routes across Kent which are assessed every academic year to ensure we cater to the needs of all pupils and their families.
There are many social benefits in using this service; it enables girls to meet others from their local area and across year groups. Many girls find that using our safe and reliable service instils greater confidence and independence.
Every year the transport service has an increase in demand and the school caters for as many girls as possible. Girls can use the service from Year 1 and above. In the Senior School 57% of all day pupils use the service and in the Prep School 10% of day pupils use the service.
Minibuses
We currently have a fleet of six minibuses and one people carrier, with experienced and qualified minibus drivers who provide a reliable and consistent service.
Depending on where the route begins, drivers will aim to collect your daughter ensuring that they are at school by 8.25am. For return journeys, drivers depart from the school at 4.15pm.
Late Bus Service
The late bus service leaves Kent College at 5.30pm
