From your door to our door
Because we understand the many challenges facing both local and relocating families, the ACS Hillingdon Transportation Department will make every effort to arrange busing for your children from their first day of school.
In order to ensure the process runs efficiently, we would appreciate your assistance by informing us of your home address as soon as possible, and liaising with us to confirm availability of busing for your address.
Please note that requests received after 1st August may not be processed in time for the start of the school year, and for mid-year starts we cannot guarantee the availability of busing. However, rest assured that all steps will be taken to complete your busing requests with speed and efficiency.
The ACS Hillingdon Transportation Department works closely with families to transport their children safely and efficiently between home and school.
