We kindly request that parents drive and park considerately when undertaking the school run. The area outside our school is busy in the morning and at the end of the school day. People who park close to entrances, driveways and corners of junctions act irresponsibly, potentially placing children in danger. This does not allow children and parents walking in and out of school to cross safely where they can be seen by approaching traffic.
From September 2024, we introduced staggered entry to reduce congestion. The school gate is open from 8:30am – 8:45am for children in EYFS /KS1 (Owls, Buzzards and Kestrels). For KS2 children (Kites, Hawks and Eagles), the school gate is open from 8:45am - 8:55am. However, those children in KS2 who have siblings in EYFS/KS1 may come in from 8:30am and wait on the playground. EYFS/KS1 children will then finish their school day at 3:00pm, with KS2 children finishing at 3:15pm.
If you are an EYFS/KS1 parent, you must ensure you leave promptly after picking up your child at 3:00pm. If you are a KS2 parent, please do not arrive for school pick up before 3:10pm.
