Our drivers live and work in these areas. They understand school start and finish patterns, one-way systems, school gate restrictions, and safe set-down points near busy sites like Epsom town centre and Guildford’s London Road.

Consistent, DBS-Checked Drivers

For school run bookings, we aim to allocate the same regular driver and vehicle so children recognise a familiar face and parents build long-term trust.

All school run drivers:

  • Hold enhanced DBS checks suitable for work with children.
  • Are fully licensed by local Surrey and London borough councils as private hire drivers.
  • Complete safeguarding and child protection awareness training in line with local authority expectations.
  • Drive regularly maintained, clean vehicles that meet council safety and emissions standards.

Flexible, Parent-Friendly Booking Options

Clocktower Cars makes it easy to set up and manage school transport around changing family schedules and after-school activities. Booking options include:

  • Phone booking: Call our Epsom head office on 01372 747747 to set up a regular school run or one-off journey.
  • Mobile apps: Book, track and manage school runs through our iOS and Android apps, perfect for busy mornings.
  • Online booking: Use our secure website booking system to set fixed schedules and add notes for specific collection points.
  • WhatsApp bookings: Message our team with your child’s name, school, address and timings for quick confirmations.
  • Email bookings: Ideal for parents arranging term-time schedules, split custody arrangements or complex timetables.

We can arrange single journeys, return trips, ad-hoc cover when a parent is away, or full Monday–Friday term-time contracts.

Epsom-Based School Run Specialists

With our head office in Epsom, Clocktower Cars is perfectly placed to serve families across Epsom, Ewell, Stoneleigh and Ashtead:

  • Popular schools supported: Epsom College, Rosebery School, Glyn School, Blenheim High, Epsom Primary, St Martin’s Infant and Junior Schools, Epsom & Ewell High.

Our drivers understand the busy nature of Epsom town centre, from the one-way system on Ashley Avenue to congestion near Epsom Station at drop-off and pick-up time. We plan routes around Surrey County Council’s school term dates and major local events such as Epsom Derby week, ensuring children arrive on time.

Coverage Across Surrey’s Key School Areas

Guildford & Godalming

In Guildford (GU1, GU2, GU3, GU4) and Godalming (GU7, GU8), we support daily school transport to:

  • Guildford High School, RGS Guildford, George Abbot School, Weyfield and Boxgrove primaries.
  • Godalming College, Broadwater School, Rodborough School, local infant and junior schools in Busbridge, Farncombe and Milford.

Our school run taxis navigate the A3, A25 and local routes like Epsom Road and London Road, managing busy junctions near Guildford town centre and Park Barn housing areas.

From our Sutton office, we cover:

  • Sutton Grammar, Nonsuch High School for Girls, Sutton High School, Greenshaw High and local primaries in SM1, SM2, SM3.
  • Nearby areas including Cheam (SM2) and Worcester Park (KT4).

Serving Reigate (RH2), Redhill (RH1) and Tadworth (KT20), we provide school run journeys to:

  • Reigate Grammar School, Reigate School, Reigate College and local primaries such as Sandcross, Dovers Green and Salfords.
  • Tadworth and Walton-on-the-Hill schools, including Bramley School and local village primaries.

We regularly use the A23, A217 and M25 Junction 8, planning routes to avoid peak-time congestion and roadworks.

Types of School Run Services Offered

Daily Home-to-School and Return

Set up fixed Monday–Friday collections from your home address every morning and pick-ups from school in the afternoon. We agree a fixed time window based on your child’s start and finish time and the specific school drop-off rules.

Split Household & Shared Care Arrangements

For families where children live between two homes in Epsom and Sutton, or Guildford and Godalming, we can:

  • Alternate pick-up addresses by day of the week.
  • Adjust collection points during holidays or exam periods.
  • Provide clear digital records of each journey for both parents or guardians.

After-School Clubs & Extended Day

Many Surrey schools run after-school clubs, sports training and revision sessions. We can:

  • Collect at later times from sites such as Epsom College, Guildford High or Reigate Grammar.
  • Provide flexible collections on certain days only (e.g. late pick-up on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
  • Adjust schedules around seasonal clubs and fixtures.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

While Surrey County Council provides statutory home-to-school transport for eligible pupils, some families prefer or require additional flexible support. Our service can complement local authority provision by:

  • Offering door-to-door, one-to-one journeys with trained, patient drivers.
  • Ensuring extra time for boarding, seatbelt checks and comfort.
  • Allowing parents or carers to accompany the child where desired.

Parents remain responsible for checking how our service fits with local transport assistance schemes and any funding or policy rules.

Safety First: Our Commitment to Child Protection

Safety and safeguarding sit at the heart of our school run offering. For each child, we can agree a tailored safety plan that may include:

  • Password or code word system at collection.
  • Designated pick-up adult list with photo ID checks where required.
  • Clear instructions on where the child waits – school reception, front gate, or a specific pick-up bay.

Every school run vehicle is equipped with:

  • Age-appropriate seat belts for all passengers.
  • ISOFIX points in many vehicles for approved child seats provided by the parent or, by arrangement, by Clocktower Cars.
  • GPS tracking and two-way communication with our Epsom control room.

We follow safeguarding principles aligned with Surrey County Council guidance on home-to-school travel and transport, while operating as a private hire transport provider.

Working with School Term Dates and Local Conditions

We plan regular school run schedules around Surrey school term dates and typical half-term holidays so parents are never charged for days they do not need transport. Holiday periods such as:

  • February half term
  • Easter holidays
  • May half term
  • Summer holidays
  • October half term
  • Christmas break

are all taken into account when setting up termly contracts. If individual schools adopt slightly different INSET days, we can pause or adjust services accordingly.

Our team also monitors local roadworks, temporary school one-way systems and safety schemes, particularly near:

  • Epsom town centre and Epsom Downs.
  • Guildford’s Stoke Park and London Road areas.
  • Reigate’s one-way system and A25 junctions.

Booking & Payment Options for School Runs

Parents can choose from:

  • Pay-per-journey – ideal for ad-hoc or occasional use.
  • Weekly or monthly invoicing – perfect for regular term-time schedules.
  • Corporate or school accounts – for independent schools or organisations arranging group transport.

We accept major debit and credit cards, secure online payments and pre-authorised app payments. Clear electronic receipts and journey logs make it easy to track costs.
