Airports and Transfers
TRANSFERS TO AND FROM HEATHROW AIRPORT
King’s College provides a transfer service to and from Heathrow Airport at the start and end of every term and for all half term breaks.
The journey time from Heathrow is around three hours and pupils are accompanied on the coach by a member of staff. If flight timings do not fit or demand is low at certain times, King’s College staff can help pupils arrange taxis and assist with rail transfers instead.
The cost of school transport to Heathrow Airport is £65 per pupil (or split between travellers) and is added to their end of term invoice.
BRISTOL AND EXETER AIRPORT
King’s College provides transfers to and from Bristol and Exeter airports at the start and end of every term, all half term breaks and exeat weekends.
The cost of school transport is £15 per pupil (or split between travellers) and is added to their end of term invoice.
As with Heathrow transfer requests, if transport is required to or from Bristol or Exeter airports, parents/guardians are asked to complete the boarders travel form below.
TAXI TRANSFERS
We recommend that taxi bookings are made at least 24 hours in advance of travel.
If taxis are needed on a Friday afternoon or on the last day of a term/half term or during an exeat weekend, we advise that you book them at least a week before travel as those days are busy.
