Families considering car sharing can join our register by emailing office@holbrookacademy.org with your name, address, phone number, and number of seats offered or required. We connect families, but all arrangements are private, and the Academy is not liable. Car sharing generally does not affect insurance if no profit is made and the vehicle seats eight or fewer; check with your insurer if unsure.

When dropping off or collecting students, please park safely and considerately, ensuring driveways and access for neighbours are not blocked.
