Boarding School Parents' Day Chauffeur
Chauffeured transport to Ampleforth, Sedbergh, Giggleswick and Queen Ethelburga's for parents' days, matches, and half-term collections.
Yorkshire's boarding schools sit at the ends of long single-track roads and the parents' day car parks are chaos. This is our specific school-run niche: to the gate, in and out cleanly, and back to Yorkshire the same evening.
Booked by London and international parents flying into Manchester or Leeds Bradford. Also by grandparents attending speech days and rugby fixtures.
MAN / LBA / hotel → Ampleforth (Helmsley) / Sedbergh / Giggleswick / QE Harrogate → return.
The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.
Parents' days start 10:00, end 17:00. Half-term collections are usually Friday 15:00–18:00 with two hours of luggage packing.
MAN → Ampleforth £220 one-way · LBA → Sedbergh £180 · Harrogate → QE £45.
- School gate drop — no walk from the visitors' car park
- Luggage handling at end of term (trunks, tuck boxes, kit bags)
- Return to airport if needed, with flight tracking
- Cold-day and rugby-touchline waterproofs

Ampleforth's parents' day parking is 15 minutes' walk from the main quad — we drop at the gate
Sedbergh's houses are separated by 2 miles — one visit can mean three drop-offs
Queen Ethelburga's has a security gate at Thorpe Underwood — booked-in vehicles bypass
V-Class holds a full trunk, tuck box, and duvet plus kit bags. Two students in one vehicle if their houses allow simultaneous check-out.
Regular MAN and LBA pickups direct to school gate, and back same day if needed. We work with the housemaster on timing.
Yes — 1st XV rugby fixtures at Sedbergh and Ampleforth, hockey at QE. Chauffeur waits for the walk-in and post-match tea.
