To and from Rydal Penrhos School
Airport Transport (for children travelling alone)
All flight information should be provided to our Transport Manager, Mr Phil Hilton by e-mail; philton@rydalpenrhos.co.uk
Please include the following details:
• Departure and Arrival Airport • Name of Airline • Flight Number • Date and time of arrival
Arrivals to UK: All flights must arrive before 20:00
The school will not provide transport for flights that are scheduled to land after 20:00 unless the flight has been delayed. Flights scheduled to arrive after 20:00 will necessitate in an overnight stay in an airport hotel (if the pupil is aged 18 or over) or, by appointment, with a local Guardian. Transport will then be arranged for the next morning.
Please notify the Transport Manager, no later than two weeks before arrival of the flight details e.g. airport, terminal, flight from, name of airline, flight number and time of arrival for transport to be arranged.
Transport will depart from Manchester airport at 11:00, 16:00 and 20:00 on the day prior to the start of term. The aim is to ensure that no pupil remains at the airport for more than two hours after arrival. Transport times from Liverpool airport will depend upon requirements.
The Transport Manager will be at Manchester airport on this day and can be contacted on +447793800419. Please note, the phone will be answered from 0700-1830 Monday to Friday. Otherwise, please text or e-mail out of these hours.
Departures from UK: No flight may be booked to leave before 10:00.
Flights must not be booked to leave the airport before 10:00 as pupils cannot leave from Boarding Houses before 06:30. If an earlier flight is required then we can arrange for alternative accommodation the night before. In this case, the School will also arrange transport to the accommodation.
Boarders must not leave School prior to the last day of term unless a written request has been submitted at least two weeks before the end of term. Please note that Open Morning and Speech Day require compulsory attendance and permission to be absent must be sought via the Head.
Cost per single transfer - £45.00 - £100.00 depending on number sharing transport.
Please note that an ‘out of hours’ pick up from an airport may lead to a higher transport cost. If this is the case, the school will notify you in advance.
Only 1 piece of hold luggage (max.25 kilos) and 1 piece of hand luggage will be permitted when transferring to and from the airport. It is the pupil’s responsibility to ensure bags are loaded onto the transport that takes you to and from the airport and that they are of the correct weight stipulated by the airline.
A bus place cannot be allocated and a passenger may not travel unless a request has been submitted with the correct flight details to the Transport Manager.
