What one single item tells parents more about your school than anything else?

 

Parents, of course, have many varied views of what schooling is all about.  After all, they all went to school themselves, and the images from their own childhood will still be clear in their minds – and influencing their thoughts.

Which inevitably raises the question, what is the most effective way of ensuring that parents feel that your school is both providing the quality education they want for their children, and constantly improving the services and facilities offered?

Curiously, despite the complexity of that question, there is one thing that has been shown, time and time again, to impact upon parents in a very profound way.   And yet it is something that you might never expect to have such an impact.  It is the school minibus.

For the look and quality of the minibus that transports their children around, is often taken by many parents to be symbolic of everything that goes on in the school.

What’s more, when the minibus is not only a very modern vehicle, but is also displaying the school livery, it not only speaks volumes to parents of those attending the school, but also to parents whose children will shortly be moving up from primary to secondary school.

For these parents, as indeed for all parents, safety is of parament importance.  Which is why an obviously modern and up-to-date school minibus with all the contemporary safety features is exactly what they want to see.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to afford a brand new minibus.   But now, leasing a minibus means that low initial financial outlay and predictable monthly payments can make having a modern minibus available to pupils and students all the time.

Thus a modern, leased minibus with a contemporary design and full safety features gives pupils, students, colleagues and parents a feeling of quality, and a renewed respect both for the school, and the opportunities it gives to its pupils and students.

To see just what is available in terms of leasing contemporary minibuses, please do have a look at our website.
