If you need to accompany your child to the school or if they need extra time getting out of the car, please park in the Community Centre across the road and cross the road at the pedestrian crossing. There are two disabled spaces outside the school if needed.
Please keep the bus lane clear until it arrives.
Please drive to the end of the lane before stopping to collect or drop off your child and park as close as possible to the car in front.
If the drop off lanes are full, please drive into the staff carpark and through the left hand gate. Drive around to the exit gate on the right and stop at the gate.
Do not block the entrance/exit of the carpark at the road front.
Please wait inside the carpark until the bus and other traffic starts to move.
Please remain in your car until you exit the carpark and reach the safe area pick up zone (beside the pedestrian crossing at the school gates).
Please note that children will be supervised from 9 am until 3.10 pm each school day. (Please avoid dropping your child to school before 9 am)
Please share this information with whoever is responsible for dropping your children to school in the morning and collecting after school – grandparents, minders, car poolers etc.
