What makes a school team win one game but then lose another?

Of course, there are many reasons for winning or losing. The skill and ability of the players is a major factor, as are the coaching skills of you and your colleagues.

Luck comes into it too, at least in football, as the book “Why everything you know about football is wrong,” points out so graphically. But beyond this there could well be something else that is affecting the performance of your school teams.

Imagine your team travelling by minibus to a fixture and the minibus breaks down. Or maybe it makes the journey but it is extremely uncomfortable. Neither event is likely to make your team feel particularly well set for the match to come.

But you have a problem too. Minibuses are expensive, and you just don’t have the money in your fund, or indeed in any school fund, to buy a new minibus.

Which is why we have introduced the leasing of minibuses to schools as an alternative to the buying of the bus.

Further, this arrangement whereby we, as the company that leases out the minibus, are also in charge of maintenance resolves the particular problem of keeping the vehicle fully operational at all times.

Through leasing a minibus is simply paid for month by month. Where some visits and trips are paid for through contributions from parents and the PTA, it is very possible that the minibus can be funded without taking anything from the school’s capital account.

In other cases the minibus can be funded through small monthly deductions from various departments’ income. If half a dozen departments agree to fund the bus and the PTA agrees to put in a monthly amount as well, the funding problem could be completely resolved.

Benchmark Leasing specialises in the supply and maintenance of school minibuses. If you are interested in the benefits of a minibus do call us on 01753 859944 or click here to see what we can offer.
