This letter was sent to parents and carers on 6th March 2023.
Dear Parent/Carer.
Due to the need to safeguard and keep students safe on school premises we are implementing the following changes when entering the school site.
- The main vehicle gate and pedestrian gates will be closed at 8.30 am.
- The gates will be closed to all parents/carers and visitors throughout the duration of the school day. Access will only be granted to the site during the school day where a pre-arranged appointment has been made, or you are coming to collect your child for an appointment or as requested by the school. If you need to access the site, please use the intercom call system to contact reception who will open the gate for you.
- The main vehicle gate will open to parents/carers and buses at 2.50 pm for collection of your children at the end of the school day.
- All drivers entering the school site must exercise due care and attention when driving and manoeuvring in the car park.
- We politely request that you adhere to the high school’s no smoking policy when on school site.
- Please refrain from using mobile phones when on the school site
- All parents and carers are encouraged, where possible, to support their children in walking or cycling to school. Where transportation by car is necessary and you can drop off and collect beyond the school car park, we would be grateful as this will help to manage congestion within the school grounds.
- All users of the car park are to be polite and courteous at all times. Please give consideration for other users of the car park as well as all students, staff and visitors present on site.
Use of the car park will be regularly reviewed. Parking on the school site is a privilege and not a right. This may be withdrawn by the Governors if they feel that the safety of the children is being compromised.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
