About this service
What our Schools & Education Courier service covers
Schools run to a timetable that doesn’t move. When something has to be at another site, a trip or a supplier today, Same Day Couriers Kent collects it from your school, college or trust office in Kent and drives it direct, with a signed handover at each end.
What do schools send with us?
Documents and confidential paperwork between sites in a multi-academy trust, laptops and devices going to or from repair, science and technology supplies, sports kit, musical instruments, items left behind for a trip, and materials for events and open days. If it fits in a vehicle and has to arrive today, we can usually carry it.
Can you carry confidential or exam material?
We carry sealed confidential documents with a named handover at each end and proof of delivery recording who received them and when. For exam scripts and question papers, check first with your exams officer and the awarding body, as they often set out how papers must be sent. Where a courier is permitted, tell us the requirements and we’ll confirm we can meet them.
How does handover work on a school site?
The driver reports to reception, follows your signing-in procedure and hands the consignment to the named person or the office team. Drivers don’t go beyond reception unless you ask them to deliver to a specific department.
Regular runs between sites?
If your trust moves post, equipment or supplies between schools on the same days each week, a scheduled run can be set up once and run on the days you choose, so nobody has to arrange it each time.
