New Hall School
Welcome 5 star service
2025-2026
Dear Parents / Guardians
I am pleased to introduce the Transport and Travel Guide for the 2025-26 academic year. This guide is produced in order to communicate the wide range of travel options available to students at New Hall School. Our school coach service is operated by carefully selected partner coach operators, alongside a dedicated team of New Hall School drivers who drive our own fleet of branded minibuses. We allocate regular drivers to the same route each day, allowing you and your child to get to know the driver on your route. All drivers hold enhanced DBS checks as standard, and all of our coaches and minibuses have seatbelts fitted to every seat. Frequent maintenance is performed to ensure that every vehicle is safe and mechanically sound.
The New Hall School Coach Service continues to be managed on our behalf by Vectare, a specialist school transport management company. All bookings for our school coach routes must be made via our online booking system, which can be accessed at newhall.vectare.co.uk.
You can book travel 24/7 from anywhere in the world, meaning that if you need to leave early for work one morning or you are running late and you would like your child to travel on the coach as a one off, you can make a booking right up until the coach is due to depart.
We advise you to make a booking as soon as possible to secure your place, and payment for the service must also be made online at the time of booking. The service has once again expanded this year to include 18 different routes, covering the vast majority of Essex.
I would like to wish your child a safe, pleasant and successful academic year.
Kind regards
Mrs. M. Gleeson Head of Operations
All of our routes are operated either with New Hall School minibuses, or by reputable local coach operators. We take pride in ensuring that our vehicle maintenance is of the highest standard, giving you peace of mind that your child is travelling to and from school in safety and comfort.
We use dedicated drivers who work on the same route every day, so they can get to know their passengers. All drivers are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
We offer a wide range of different tickets on our School Coach Service. From a single fare for a one-off journey through to return passes for the entire academic year, there are options for everybody’s travel preference. You can book tickets at any time throughout the year, so it’s simple to book an extra journey or arrange travel for a visiting friend.
Our School Coach network serves 100+ coach stops. We also connect with train services from 15+ railway stations. We want to offer you a travel solution that works for you and your child, so if you need any assistance working out the best route to school then please do get in touch via the dedicated transport wesbite.
It takes just 30 seconds to find your nearest coach stop online, and booking takes only a few minutes, so all of the information you need to arrange travel for your child is at your fingertips. To book your child’s travel and find your nearest coach stop, visit newhall.vectare.co.uk .
