A Polite Reminder

A polite reminder that no parking is allowed in the bus lane or turning circle from 14.30 onwards at the front of the school. This ensures that the buses are able to pick up children safely and efficiently.
Also, please refrain from blocking neighbouring streets as residents are unable to make use of their roads/pavements outside their homes. Emergency Services require access should they need arise.
The safety of the children and the public is paramount. Children running in between buses cannot occur and we also have to ensure children living in the neighbouring streets are also safe from a heavy influx of vehicles at the end of the school day.
