Airport Transfer Services
If your child is travelling from abroad, we can bring your child to school from the airport at an additional cost.
We offer different Airport Transfer Services to help bring children to and from the school, whether they’re arriving/departing by themselves or you’ll be dropping them off/picking them up at the airport. Please review the options below.
⇒ Airport Transfers
Our airport shuttle service operates on every course start and finish date. We have a specialist team of staff at the airports on arrival and departure days dedicated to ensuring the smooth transfer of each student between their flight and our shuttle buses to and from the school. You give us your child’s flight details and we will meet them at the airport, wait with them and accompany them to our shuttle bus.
⇒ Transfers with Unaccompanied Minor Service (UM)
We recommend using an Unaccompanied Minor (UM) or Airport Assistance service if your child is under 14 years old or is an inexperienced traveller. This service provides an airline staff member to supervise and escort your child during their flight and in the parts of the airport that are not accessible to our staff. Many airlines offer this service and some require you to use this service for children under a certain age so please check with the airline and pay applicable fees for both your inbound and outbound journey. If you have booked this service you must notify us in your transfer booking. We charge an additional £30 for this service.

⇒ Arrivals
Students can arrive at Tonbridge School anytime between 1000 -1400 on Monday morning (first day).
We will have students arriving all day on our airport transfers though, so if you can’t arrive by 10am that’s not a problem. Our Monday schedule is designed so that all-day arrivals do not disrupt the programme.
Please note: As the adult/guardian, dropping off/picking up your child, you must bring photo ID.
If someone else will be dropping off your child at camp, please let us know as you will need to complete a permission form. Please contact us at info@impactsummerprogramme.org to let us know.
⇒ Departures
Please pick up your child between 8am and 12pm on Sunday (last day of summer school), the best time being 10am.
We are only able to release students from our care to a named parent/legal guardian. If you would like someone else to collect your child, please provide us with a written and signed request from a parent or legal guardian naming the person collecting the child ahead of the collection day. We will provide a password for collection and will ask for ID from the person collecting.
