Airport transfers (detailed below) are included in the course fee and valid for the arrival and departure day of the course that the student has registered for.
Included in fees
Airport transfers on the course arrival and departure days are included in all Harrow School Short Courses fees and will be organised for all students who request it, provided they are in possession of a valid return ticket completed with a time and date. It is not possible to join with an undated ticket and Harrow School Short Courses is not responsible for booking or providing return tickets.
Our uniformed staff will meet students arriving at a UK airport on a flight and accompany them to their destination school. We will collect any children travelling as Unaccompanied Minors directly from their airline representatives. An Unaccompanied Minor is where you have paid the airline to escort your child from their home country to the United Kingdom.
We will organise a scheduled transfer from/to our designated airports or St. Pancras railway station (Eurostar only) for students who send us travel details within the deadline given and hold a valid return ticket with a time and date. You cannot arrive with an undated ticket and Harrow School Short Courses cannot book your return ticket.
We only organise scheduled airport (and Eurostar) transfers for our students to and from the airports or train station shown in the table below. Transfers are normally by car, minibus or coach. We may occasionally use trains or public transport for transfers. We do not run a shuttle service.
