Trying to get students to feel positive about their school and all that it does is a tough call. Easier with primary children, but tougher as they get older.

For a teenager, saying that school is “cool” (or whatever jargon word they have for that feeling this week) is just not on.

But tucked inside this common observation of the disaffection of youth there are two other factors to consider.

The first is the issue of rivalry. The second is the fact that despite their occasional displays of public disaffection, even teenagers can feel pride in their school and what it represents.
For the reality is that travelling in a modern, well equipped minibus does give students a buzz of extra excitement and pride.

And it is a pride that even teenagers will engage in, particularly when they visit a rival school for an event – knowing full well that the rival school does not have such a modern vehicle at their disposal.

Add in the school logo on the side of the bus, and the transformation is complete. There is a feeling that yes, this school really is ahead of the game.

And of course that is what leasing allows schools to be. Questions of pupil pride may not be top of the list when it comes to reasons for getting a new school minibus but it is just one more bonus, alongside the fact that safety is improved, breakdowns dramatically reduced, petrol consumption is reduced, etc.
