With budgets under pressure and operational costs rising, schools, academies, and sixth form colleges are constantly looking for reliable and low-income ways to generate additional income without overloading staff. One often overlooked school asset is the car park, particularly during off-peak hours and school holidays.

Parking is always needed, and for schools in busy or town-centre locations, demand for convenient, affordable spaces is consistently high. By managing parking differently, universities can create a simple, reliable revenue stream while keeping full control of their spaces.

1. Turn Unused Parking into Reliable Revenue

Many school car parks sit empty during off-peak hours, bank holidays, or school holidays. And every unused space is a missed opportunity to generate revenue.

Partnering with JustPark lets schools turn these dormant spaces into a steady income stream, effortlessly and without any upfront costs or new infrastructure. The system works with your existing setup, so you can start earning immediately. Revenue can then be reinvested into the school experience, supporting essential upgrades, improving accessibility, or funding critical staff, resources, and facilities.

2. Low-Admin, Effortless Management

Managing a school car park can be time-consuming, especially when systems are outdated or manual. JustPark takes the administrative burden off your team by automating parking tasks.

Our platform handles the entire process, replacing paper permits, spreadsheets, and the need to chase payments. With everything automated, your school administration or site management teams can focus on core school operations rather than day-to-day parking management.

3. Minimal Disruption, Full Control

Every school has its own unique requirements. JustPark works with your existing setup, whether you manage parking in-house or through an external operator, and adds a smart, simple layer that keeps everything organised and efficient. We complement your current operations, helping your car park generate maximum revenue while you stay in full control.

We handle the day-to-day operational details of a busy school car park, including whitelisting staff vehicles and managing secure access for contractors. This means you can prioritise parking where it’s needed without compromising safety or security.

Our dedicated team also manages driver enquiries, payments, and booking support, freeing up your school office and site staff. All payments and reporting are automated, delivering consolidated revenue straight to your school each month. Our solutions integrate smoothly with existing barriers or gates, giving drivers secure access without adding complexity for your team.

4. Greater Visibility Drives Higher Occupancy

For schools, the ability to reach drivers outside the school grounds is a key advantage. JustPark’s platform connects your car park to over 14 million registered drivers across the UK, effectively creating a ready-made marketing channel for your spaces.

When you list your car park, it becomes instantly visible to drivers using the JustPark app and through our integration partners, such as Trainline. This level of demand, especially for schools in busy or town-centre locations, helps maximise occupancy and revenue year-round, including during quieter periods when schools are closed.

The system adjusts automatically to school and local demand, including nearby events, term times, or seasonal peaks, ensuring your spaces are priced to generate maximum revenue while staying attractive and accessible to both parents, visitors, and the wider community.

5. Benefitting Your School & Local Community 

For schools, parking isn’t just about vehicles - it needs to support daily operations and safeguarding. By making the most of existing car park spaces, the revenue generated can be reinvested into projects that have a real impact on pupils and staff.

JustPark helps schools turn underused parking into tangible value. Funds earned can go towards improving facilities, supporting learning resources, or enhancing staff resources - whatever matters most to your school.

Pre-booked parking also helps manage traffic flow, which can reduce congestion around school entrances and surrounding roads. By providing convenient, affordable options, schools can make their grounds safer and more welcoming for pupils, parents, staff, visitors, and local residents alike.
