Personal Transportation Students Travelling Home with Parents Other Than Their Own Students may only travel home by car with other parents if the divisional office has permission in writing from the parent of the student making the change. Students Travelling To and From School with Chauffeurs Chauffeurs are not permitted on campus and will be asked to remain at security when they are picking up or dropping off students. Taxis on Campus Due to security issues, taxis may be restricted from driving on campus. The decision regarding taxis on campus is at the discretion of the Head of School. Vehicles and Emergency Drills In the event of emergency drills during school hours, vehicles will be held at the security lodge. Should a drill occur just before or just after school hours when there is considerable traffic congestion, it may be necessary for vehicles to bypass the school and keep moving as advised by security or the Transportation coordinator. Student Driving Privileges Most students travel to school on our bus service. Special permission is required if students wish to drive a car to school. Driving privileges are only given to students in the senior class (Grade 12/13). In cases with unique circumstances, the Head of School and/or High School Principal may allow non-grade 12/13 students driving privileges. An ACS Hillingdon driver’s application form must be completed by the parents stating they accept full responsibility and that the school cannot be held liable for any accident or injury suffered by the student coming to/from school, and that, in cases of private cars, the student has a full valid UK driving license and the legally required insurance. This driver’s application form, with a passport-sized photograph, must be submitted to the high school principal for approval. Parking at school is very limited, so permission to drive private cars is regulated closely. Learner drivers are not allowed on campus. Private student cars are to be used only to come to and return home from school. Trips out of school may not be made during the school day. Once parked on school property, student cars are not to be visited or opened until departure for home, unless prior permission is obtained from the high school office. If the school’s parking lot is full and the student parks near to the school, as indicated above, the student is not permitted to leave campus to go to the car. Students need to respect the surrounding streets and property. Students are reminded that school officials can withdraw this privilege at any time. 46 | ACS Hillingdon
