Managing school transport can be one of the most complex operational challenges for educational institutions. From daily home-to-school routes to ad-hoc trips, weekly boarder transport, and excursions for prep and senior school students, the coordination demands
are immense. Brighton College has successfully embraced the Vectare transport system to simplify and optimize every aspect of its transport operations over the last 12 months.
Streamlining Daily Operations

At Brighton College, Vectare is used extensively to manage the full spectrum of the school’s transport services. The system oversees all home-to-school buses, including regular routes and ad-hoc usage, ensuring that every student is accounted for and transported safely.
Drivers rely on the system each day to access route information, student details, and live updates.

Parents benefit from real-time tracking, giving them peace of mind and confidence in the school’s transport arrangements. Meanwhile, drivers receive safeguarding alerts for students, ensuring that any concerns are immediately flagged and addressed. This integration of safety and communication raises the standard of care on every journey.

Real-Time Oversight and Strategic Insight

Brighton College gains unparalleled oversight with Vectare. Registration data is visible in real time, enabling administrators to monitor bus occupancy, student attendance, and route efficiency with ease. Bus administrators also benefit from strategic insights, with access to comprehensive data that supports planning, optimisation, and long-term decision-making.

By consolidating information in one platform, Vectare allows the transport team to manage a highly complex operation with total control. The result is a streamlined workflow that reduces errors, improves communication, and ensures that all stakeholders; drivers, parents, and school administrators have access to the information they need.

Managing External Trips and Private Hire

Beyond daily school transport, Brighton College also uses Vectare’s private hire system to coordinate all minibus and external coach bookings for fixtures, trips, and other events. This system centralizes all transport logistics, enabling the school to manage internal and
external bookings in a single, intuitive platform.

By simplifying scheduling, tracking, and reporting, the school has removed many of the traditional headaches associated with transport management. The transport team can focus on providing a safe and efficient service, confident that every trip is logged, accounted for, and optimized.

Delivering Total Control and Oversight

With Vectare, Brighton College has transformed a previously complex and fragmented operation into a fully integrated transport system. Drivers, administrators, and parents all have clear, real-time visibility, while the school’s transport team enjoys comprehensive oversight and strategic insight. The system not only streamlines processes but also strengthens safeguarding, enhances communication, and improves operational efficiency.

By adopting Vectare, Brighton College has shown how technology can revolutionise school transport. From daily bus routes to external trips, the system provides total control, transparency, and peace of mind, making it an essential part of the school’s operational infrastructure.
