GCSE Results and Redeliveries begin ready for the start of the new term

Posted on 23 August

Today is GCSE results day. A nerve wracking day for students, parents and teachers alike. There is so much pressure on everyone. Opening that envelope is a seriously tense moment.  And then, it is over and the push for A-Levels begins.

At School Trunk, re-deliveries have now begun so that schools are ready for the arrival of students over the next few weeks. Next week is a seriously busy one for the School Trunk team. It will definitely be a case of all hands on deck. The teams, and their distinctive red polo shirts, will be invading London en masse. There are also teams heading as far south at Roedean in Brighton, up to Rugby and across to Badminton in Bristol.

Every re-delivery proves to be a different challenge for our teams. Older schools tend to have some narrow doorways or steep stairs to deal with. All girls schools tend to have quite a few extra boxes! But, our team leaders are always up for a challenge and this week, all the final preparations are being put in place  by the office staff.

Do get in touch if you have any last minute issues: students moving schools, gap years or International shipments can all still be assisted with.

Redelivery preparations underway – starting next week

Posted on 16 August

Unbelievably, the summer holidays are already coming to an end. This means the School Trunk team will be back in their red polo shirts and back in action very soon. Redelivery commences next week. It seems like only yesterday we were collecting.

All the Gold Care orders have been sorted, cleaned and repacked. They are now neatly in their tissue paper ready for the start of the new term. And all Silver Storage orders have been safely stored through the roasting summer that we have had.

Redelivery starts

The team start at the end of next week with King’s Ely School and Roedean. King’s Ely, which was renamed from The King’s School in March 2012, is a coeducational independent day and boarding school in the beautiful cathedral city of Ely, Cambridgeshire and Roedean School is an independent day and boarding school founded in 1885 in Roedean Village on the outskirts of Brighton, East Sussex.

King's Ely School Cathedral redelivery

The School Trunk team are regulars at Roedean, however King’s Ely was a new school this holiday and so this will be the first re-delivery. The team were absolutely in awe of the stunning Cathedral on collection, a little detour was made on the way home to have a closer look.

The following week, it is then all hands on deck as red crates are shipped all across the UK. Alongside, the start of our redelivery of UniWiz orders to University campuses.
