Traffic rules at drop-off & pick-up

Please make yourself aware again of our traffic requirements at drop-off and pick-up times as this will ensure a better service and experience for all.  Below will be enforced from Wednesday, 13 March.

Lighthouse parking & traffic policies:

• We kindly request that parents refrain from arriving before 14:45 for pick-up. Early arrivals hinder us from using our sports fields, as well as impacting smooth traffic flow for school visitors. Early arrivals also pose safety concerns as we cannot monitor campus access effectively. If all guidelines are followed, collection should not take more than 15 minutes.

• Children may not be called out of class after 14:00 unless there is a pre-arranged doctor's appointment, communicated in advance with their teacher via email or through reception.

• Drop-off before 07:30 is discouraged as supervision is not provided during this time. Please understand that the school cannot assume responsibility for any incidents that may occur before official supervision begins.

• Please note, siblings will not be grouped together for pick-up arrangements. Instead, all children will gather at designated pick-up points. This measure ensures better supervision and enhances overall safety protocols.

Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines is greatly appreciated as we strive to maintain a secure and organised environment for all students and visitors. Thank you for your understanding and support!

*Green arrows indicates traffic flow direction. **Red arrows and bars indicate no access allowed.
