Drop-Off and Collection

Parents and carers are welcome onto the playground at the beginning and end of the school day.

We value strong partnerships between home and school, and these opportunities help us build positive relationships with families.

If your child's usual drop-off or collection arrangements change, for example another adult is collecting them, please let us know as soon as possible. This helps us ensure all children are collected safely and avoids any unnecessary worry or confusion.

 


Travelling to School

Whenever possible, we encourage families to walk to school.

Walking to school:

  • Supports children's health and wellbeing
  • Helps reduce traffic around the school
  • Improves road safety for everyone
  • Respects our neighbours and local parking regulations

For those travelling by bike or scooter, bike racks are available on site.

If you need to travel by car, please park considerately and avoid parking directly outside or opposite the school gates to help keep everyone safe at busy times.
