Most schools minibus requirements can be accommodated with an “off the shelf” minibus such as the Ford Transit, or a Peugeot Boxer from one of the high volume vehicle producers.
The schools market is hotly contested with both manufacturers and resellers targeting School Bursors with cheap leasing offers. Whilst this is often beneficial to a school in achieving the best deal available for a standard vehicle, it can mean that when a school has special requirements such as access for multiple wheelchair users, or the need to carry lots of sports kit or outward bounds equipment, the wrong kind of vehicle is acquired.
