On Site Car Parks

All schools in the Stockport Metropolitan Borough have a maximum parking provision (see appendix 9 of the Council website). Unfortunately, we do not have enough parking on site for staff, parents, community use and other visitors.

CHS is only permitted 270 spaces which is split into 161 spaces allocated to staff, 52 allocated to the "school-run", 11 spaces for day-to-day visitors plus 46 in the Gym playspace which can be used after school for lettings and events. Spaces cannot be guaranteed. To facilitate the traffic flow and relieve pressure on parking zones, parking arrangements are managed by the Estates and Events teams and through the a number of event protocols.

Where can staff park on-site?

60 spaces are available in the Main Building car park (through the Claremont Road Main Entrance). There are 11 spaces kept for visitors, plus some accessible spaces.
25 spaces are available at School Lane through the barrier near Lockhart, and 24 spaces passed the Barn. The right-hand side of the roundabout (near DT) is for the "school-run" and staff should avoid parking here (see below for exceptions).
52 spaces are available in the Broomefield/Gym Car park off Claremont Road. There is also a drop-off zone here.
15 spaces are available in the Coach Car Park (left hand bays and car spaces at the far end)

All staff who wish to park on site must display a valid CHS Staff car permit on their windscreen. Please add your car make/registration in the My Details section on EveryHR and then email Rebecca Bradley, Business Support Officer at operations@chschool.co.uk who will issue your permit.

Car Park Map

The centre of the School campus is pedestrianised. A speed limit of 5mph should be observed in car parks at all times. Please give way to all pedestrians at all times.

Out of hours parking

If you need to leave your car on site over night or over a weekend (whilst you are on a school trip for example), the most secure car park is the Barn Staff car park as this concealed within the School grounds. It must be understood that any vehicles left over night are left at your own risk. Please email estates@chschool.co.uk to inform the team your plans and to provide information about the car being left, so the Duty Caretaker knows not to report an abandoned vehicle. It is advisable to make a note of what times the Duty Caretakers are on site if you are coming to school out of hours (see School Opening Times here).

Exceptions

Please ensure that you only park in the areas identified for staff parking and with a visible CHS Staff Car Permit.

Visitor spaces by main building are for CHS Visitors only, unless approved by exception (by a member of the SLT).

Visitor parking exceptions : anyone finishing work before 9am may park in visitor parking, or starting work after 5pm.

Parent Spaces School Lane : Staff who come in after morning drop off time (9am) and leave before pick up (2.45pm) can use the parent spaces.

Coach Park - staff parking is allowed on the left hand side (coach bays) and car spaces at the far end of the car park. Please only park in the designated spaces as per the map above and not in any other spaces in the coach park as the coaches need access.

Coach park middle car spaces - car parking in the four rows furthest from the entrance only please, any other parking in the middle spaces prevents access for the school coaches.

Please give way to the coaches at all time especially when they are reversing (most coach movement is between 8-8.40am and 3-4.15pm). If the coach park gate is closed it can be opened using your staff access pass.

During big events alternative parking arrangements may be proposed (such as behind the Gym) but these will be communicated by email – please cooperate with reasonable requests to alter your parking routines.

Any queries re these exceptions please contact operations@chschool.co.uk

Accessible parking

There are accessible spaces in the Main Building car park and drivers must display a Blue Badge or permit in order to park in these spaces.
